Arstechnica[1] asked about it and Waymo did not deny: > In fact, last week the Information's Amir Efrati reported that Waymo may actually have moved backward recently. > "Within the past month or so, due to concerns about safety, the Alphabet company put so-called safety drivers back behind the wheel of its most advanced prototypes, ending a year-long period in which those people generally sat in the passenger or back seat," Efrati wrote. > We asked Waymo about this, and a spokesperson dismissed the report as nothing new, saying that the company regularly changes the mix of cars with and without safety drivers.
