Per TFA, they're limited to 30 MPH and will not have safety drivers.
And obviously the launch is conditioned on regulators' belief that the system can handle reacting, to a degree of safety that's similar to human drivers: otherwise they wouldn't get the permit. The reaction time of safety drivers is not what this approval pivots on.
Though obviously the interesting question is: how did the company and the regulators get to this level of confidence in the system's safety

- wutbrodo 5y agoAh, thanks for clarifying. That makes way more sense. BTW, you seem to have been reading TFA as some sort of snark. It's a pretty well-established bit of internet jargon that's (at least in my experience) more winking than aggressive at this pt.
