How do you explain actual self-driving cars on the road? I find this attitude confusing as it seems to not jive with empirical reality.
I agree that we should focus on mass transit, but Waymo drives hundreds/thousands of miles without driver intervention.
I've never heard of "expectancy value" in my life - it's definitely not a standard probability term.
Waymo cars go 11,000+ miles without driver intervention on average.
I would encourage doing actual research into this subject, rather than relying on your gut or the news articles you read.
Most self-driving is done in warm climates, in a circle. These companies are amassing thousands of empty miles on the same streets every day to impress people who don't know any better.
I lived on a branch of the main Google circuit, and often they were the only traffic for most of the day. Even saw three Google vehicles in a line, but two were more common.
What's the value of "self-driving" with no weather, traffic or route variation? PR and regulatory filing stats.
There was a driver, but I'm fairly certain that the drivers are not actively driving but are legally required to be there.
What? That's not at all what disengagements mean
