Just as with reporting on the J&J vaccine possible complications, I feel like reporting on self-driving car accidents deceptively obscures the reality that self-driving cars are already much safer than human-driven ones, on average. ("Yes, some people may have had blood clotting, but many more people have had much worse blood clotting from Covid.") For those who are unfamiliar with the cold, hard data on both subjects, such reporting paints almost exactly the wrong picture and should generally be treated as anecdata
