I've noticed in SF at least Cruise seems to have removed branding from their cars (or I believe they are their cars). I'm curious what that implies -- either about the sentiment of self driving cars or future branding partnerships.
perhaps it's just about collecting more accurate test data - if self driving cars are obviously marked as such, the behaviour of other drivers around them may change.
The turret of sensors mounted on top still might be a bit of a giveaway.
Well there's many companies doing AV testing with sensors on their marked + unmarked cars. Not just Cruise.
