According to @JeffDean, neurosurgeon @slotkinjr’s analysis indicates Waymo’s autonomous vehicles outperform human drivers on safety, estimating 33,000–39,000 U.S. deaths could be prevented annually if all vehicles matched Waymo’s performance, source: Jeff Dean on X (Sep 20, 2025); @slotkinjr on X. The analysis further estimates $0.9–$1.25 trillion in annual societal cost savings and roughly 10,000 lives saved at 27% adoption, source: Jeff Dean on X; @slotkinjr on X. Waymo operates under Alphabet, making these safety metrics directly relevant to traders evaluating Alphabet’s autonomous driving exposure (tickers: GOOGL, GOOG), source: Alphabet Investor Relations; Jeff Dean on X. The cited posts contain no mention of cryptocurrencies or blockchain, indicating no direct crypto-asset linkage; any market effect for digital assets would be indirect via broader AI and autonomy narratives, source: Jeff Dean on X; @slotkinjr on X. Trading takeaway: monitor Alphabet and U.S. AV peers for headline-driven sentiment shifts tied to safety outcomes highlighted in these posts, source: Jeff Dean on X; @slotkinjr on X.
