What basis do you have to put Apple on same short list as Waymo on having a "best shot" at competing in automated ride-sharing? Although there is little in public domain on Apple's progress, I believe there are others ahead of them.

I rank Apple highly as a company that could create a competitor to Uber if they wanted to. With human drivers. We don't have any real information on the quality of Titan.

Is that actually a measurable number, or is it just an analogy for something else?
I doubt many humans drive safely even 99% of the time, though again it's not clear exactly how to measure that.
