Humanoid robots could become safer than humans by a large margin, similar to autonomous cars.

Humanoid robots could become safer than humans by a large margin, similar to autonomous cars. | I mean they could be safer than humans by a large margin just like autonomous cars are safer than humans end of the day. Yeah. These have like super human perception.

Watch events: Figure 03 shipment volume; BMW, 2nd customer deployment count; Waymo 1M rides/wk (end-2026); Tesla Robotaxi scaling; NHTSA AV rules

I mean they could be safer than humans by a large margin just like autonomous cars are safer than humans end of the day. Yeah. These have like super human perception.

Figure safety claim; no mass deployment to measure.
