I think Michael "Hockey Stick" Mann has been moonlighting doing Waymo's data analysis on the side.

For one thing there is NO MENTION OF FATALITIES, and for the other the percentages used make the actual deltas look much more impressive then they actually are.

And it looks like their "peer reviews" are all done by the same couple of guys.
