Saying something is meaningless doesn't make it so. Often things don't mean what people would like them to mean, but every observation means something.
If Waymo is operating in particularly easy environments, then it's plausible that it's not as good as a 30K mile interval would imply.
But that number definitely implies an upper bound, because if they could go longer, they would.
Do you have a source for there being no safety driver physically in the car and the car always finding a safe state on its own?
- Retric 5y agoIt’s the Wamo one service in a very limited area of Phenix that’s operating without a safety driver. They started in 2020 with 10% of the rides without a safety driver and it’s been ramping up. There’s been a fair amount of coverage for example: https://www.wbur.org/hereandnow/2021/01/04/waymo-driverless-car https://www.wbur.org/hereandnow/2021/01/04/waymo-driverless-... The safe state thing is inferred based on the list of crashes so far. Clearly it’s not going to always work perfectly to the end of time, but it’s good enough that their testing it without a safety driver in the car which says quite a bit.
