I don't buy the argument about minimizing driver interventions. Regardless of what metric Cruise is optimizing, there is some metric, and hence there is an incentive to cut corners at the expense of safety. It's the responsibility of every engineer and every manager to prevent this. Given that the incentive will exist no matter what, miles driven between interventions is a pretty good metric to optimize.
