Yes, clearly that must be why they fought so hard to hide their crash data

While I agree that data should be public, them not wanting every crash to be reported on publicly probably has something to do with the fact that mobs are burning their cars down at the present moment, even though they're statistically safer than normal drivers.

even though they’re statistically safer than normal drivers.

Safer according to Waymo data, who has a history of and is currently hiding data.
