Cruise autonomous vehicle driving behavior feedback
By
–
2/4 But I am still riding to inform followers and help @Cruise get better. TONIGHT! On app, requested and got ride in 2 mins with "French fry". Overly aggressive fast pull in to pick up–better than earlier rides where it was too afraid of stopping, but scarily fierce in pull in.

By

Only traffic light of ride, half a block in. @Cruise please see internal video of French fry at 9:16 turning right on Sacramento from heading south on Fillmore. I noticed it did not attempt a right on red. Waited for green. Then pedestrians on Fillmore were crossing and blocking.

Waited for first batch, then turned right quite aggressively as a south bound pedestrian started across the road. He HAD TO JUMP BACKWARDS TO AVOID BEING HIT. Bad @Cruise
. Rest of ride uneventful. -

1/4 Psst. Secret. My family tried to ban me from riding with @Cruise after seeing video of last Thursday's SF crash when Cruise with paying passenger inside froze in the path of an emergency vehicle rather than doing anything to get out of the way. Passenger ended in hospital.

Unoccupied cruising cars are thick on the streets of SF. Friday just after noon I got to an intersection with three @Cruise in it, one blocking people from going around a FedEx delivery; I was able to see that ahead and change my route, other human drivers were stuck.

1944: Spitfire version XIV, first human operated machines optimized to fight robots, the V-1s. We must optimize robots to be safe for humans & not let hubris drive us to disastrously deploy them too early. We need robots to save us from demographic inversion and climate change.

See the follow on tweets. Had a green light but got hit by an emergency vehicle. Passenger injured. Without knowing more details feels like an edge case for which a rule needs to override learning. https://
