It’s kind of funny if what you wrote is the full description that we are going to gauge the capability of a self driving system by how willing the manufacturer is to put themselves on the line, instead of data-driven analysis of the systems involved.
- jowday 6y agoThat's how this industry works, unfortunately. It's widely accepted that the disengagement stats companies are required to report to government agencies are essentially meaningless. There's no real standardization in how any of this stuff is reported. There's no way to do independent verifiable data driven analysis of the systems. Waymo's the only company that's put out a really robust deep dive into their safety stats - the white paper they out out was really pretty comprehensive.
- jimbokun 6y agoData can be faked and fudged. Legal liability tells you how confident the manufacturer really is in its technology.
- rodgerd 6y agoExactly. I don't care what your CEO tells me about being able to self-deliver in a couple of years. Show me what you'll be liable for.
- gfodor 6y agoIt’s true this leads to better incentives I just find it funny we frame this as “levels of autonomy” which sounds more like verified capabilities not implied capabilities via the confidence slash cajones of companies.
