So much for the idea that self-driving cars are hitting walls.
They are not hitting obstacles nearly as much as human drivers. Yes, Waymo cars only drive in some areas that are fully mapped, they use all kinds of sensors, and they have required a decade of data collection,

Waymo Self-Driving Cars Demonstrate Superior Safety Record Compared to Humans
By
–
Waymo self-driving cars already appear to be much safer than human drivers: 1/4 the accident rate of the average person insured by SwissRe. And as @SebastianThrun reminded me last weekend when we shared a Waymo ride in San Francisco, unlike humans, self-driving cars get better

True Autonomy in Vehicles: Current Limitations and Requirements
By
–
as of today I am not sure there are any “autonomous vehicles” at scale (excluding monorails etc). If you need a checkin once an hour that’s “vast majority” but not truly autonomous. and if you can’t run without guaranteed cell service, that’s not autonomous, either.

Cruise’s Safety Claims Questioned: Remote Assist Dependency Exposed
By
–
1. Cruise’s omission was massive; every claim about their putative safety has to be rethought.
2. More will come out about how dependent they were on remote assist
3. What they have is likely too dependent on data transmission to work on highways or at scale. 4. No further -
Waymo vs Cruise: Assessing True Level 5 Autonomous Driving
By
–
My guess is that Waymo is markedly better than Cruise, but – One critical question is how much better; even an order of magnitude less intervention would still be a long way from true L5 self-driving
– The other rumor I hear is that Waymo is super-tailored to particular roads, -
Prediction Markets for Waymo Human Intervention Monitoring
By
–
I decided that I don't want to monitor this issue hard enough to adjudicate a prediction market myself; but making the prediction market for whether Waymo is relying on amounts of human intervention near that of Cruise, would be one way to promote rumors to public best-guesses.
