Thanks Andrew - a very interesting read. Is there another issue here associated with the data being from collision causation? If you're in a vehicle (lets say a robotaxi) does it matter who is to blame if you're involved and injured? Claims wouldn't be made against the robotaxi company if they're rear-ended but the blame is of little comfort to the person in the back of the robotaxi who suffers from whiplash. A robotaxi that stops abruptly for no apparent reason causing an accident doesn't make it ok even if the law says the vehicle behind is at fault. So perhaps data on collisions - whatever the cause - is also important. (Also - I enjoyed my week's-worth of free Waymo rides. No socks to declare).
