The issue is Google is doing it with (prohibitively) expensive hardware, so we don't know yet if Google's self-driving system works with cheaper Autopilot 2.0-level hardware that the other car makers are going to use as well.
- dgacmu 10y ago"The person in the driver's seat is just there for legal reasons" -- but note just how closely that person's hands are to the wheel, in an obvious state of readiness. That person is 100% ready to take over the car if it messes up. Tesla had the luxury of running test drives until they had a success. This is a different thing than putting a car on the road with no steering wheel and saying bon voyage. The first is a demonstration of a single successful instance (which is probably repeatable on average); the second is a much stronger demonstration of a > 99% success rate.

They might have made that video when they only have a 95% success rate, because in the 5% chance of collision it would be at low speed, with a very light vehicle, and very unlikely to cause a fatality. https://www.aaafoundation.org/sites/default/files/2011PedestrianRiskVsSpeed.pdf https://www.aaafoundation.org/sites/default/files/2011Pedest...
