That is an extremely provocative photograph. Where are the Cruise PMs trotting out the video footage from the car now? In their last incident with a fire truck [1] they showed a journalist video from the vehicle. How could such footage possibly show them in a good light now?
It's all very complicated. I'm not going to die on the hill of Big Autonomous Vehicle, at the end of the day, someone, somewhere will make a good AV, and maybe Cruise's in particular just suck.
But if you just shared photos from Fifth through Seventh on Market, where this crash occurred, that would also be provocative. It would provide some context that a Cruise PM cannot possibly discuss. If you shared photos from lethal highway crashes, that would be extremely provocative.
Surely lawmakers who put together the CPUC authority and those rules considered the possibility of lethal and provocative accidents with AVs. So nothing is going to change.
I welcome David Chiu to come to Fifth and Market and deliver an intellectually honest plan to reduce mortality among people there crossing the street that involves reducing AV driving during the day.
