Did you work out a formula that tells us how much progress is worth how many human lives, or are we gonna go by gut feeling for the time being?
I have a feeling there’s a hyperbolic parabaloid incoming…
In an incident that nobody could have possibly predicted a Cruise vehicle carrying a passenger failed to act appropriately when a fire engine with lights and sirens going was crossing through an intersection. The passenger got hurt in the collision.
The government response ordering Cruise to remove 50% of their vehicles from the road is super weird though. They’re either safe or not (in this case, not) so what’s with the half-measure here?
I’ve been disappointed with the regulators every step of the way here. Allowing limited, controlled testing with a human safety driver onboard is one thing (obviously not foolproof though) but how could they even consider allowing these vehicles on the road without first demonstrating basic capabilities such as clear, predictable and reliable responses to emergency vehicles and traffic control officers?
