Damage per mile does not imply L5 readiness. My throttle only cruise control system in my car has never led to an accident, but only because I’m still there to operate the steering and to disable the cruise control at a moments notice. A self driving system that has been proven to be safe with humans diligently monitoring its behavior does not imply that this system can operate just as safely without the human.
- dekhn 4y agothat's exactly what's being tested by waymo in SF and Phoenix- there is no driver.
