"It is possible that Waymo put its technology into more challenging scenarios in 2017" Seems extremely likely.
- beambot 9y agoReally? Waymo went from driving exclusively in Mountain View, CA to driving across a number of cities in the US: Atlanta, SF, Detroit, Phoenix, & Kirkland [1]. The diversity in cities would easily add to the challenge!

- lukas099 9y agoThat is what GP was saying: it is extremely likely that the difficulty level of the scenarios increased. I wonder if the flattened curve of progress in the metric described by the article (disengagement rate) is actually intentional. Maybe a decision was made to increase difficulty of driving scenarios in such a way to keep that approximately constant.
