You make what you measure. This encourages companies to have their safety operators take over less often: if you tell the operators to err on the side of safety and take over more often, your car will look less safe.
I don't have a solution here, just pointing out how this actually can benefit companies that care less about safety.
- mcny 8y agoSorry if this is a stupid question but what does California do with these numbers? If Wayne has 10 engagements per mile driven with 10M miles driven and Tesla has 2 per mile with 500k miles driven and Uber has 1 per mile with 1M miles driven (all made up numbers), will there be some sort of penalty for below average scorers? Is it possible to categorically say who is the best? How does this work?
- lern_too_spel 8y agoIt just makes the data public.
- masonic 8y agoWhat are the consequences of not reporting those accurately, and how would anyone know?
