There were clear signs that Cruise was rushing things with their expansion, but I didn’t know the performance was this bad. Based on developments from the past few days [1], their safety culture seems to be closer to Tesla’s than it is to Waymo’s.

- oldgradstudent 3y agoWe'll see about Waymo's safety culture after their first serious incident. Transparency is sorely lacking in this sector.
- chpatrick 3y agoThe fact that there hasn't been one after years of driving is a pretty good sign no?
- oldgradstudent 3y agoThey barely drove a few million miles in ideal conditions and where children are relatively uncommon. Edit: removed a Cruise incident.
- unshavedyak 3y agoYour link is a Cruise (according to the X/Tweet/Thing), but it sounded like you were using that as evidence of faulty Waymo behavior.
- oldgradstudent 3y agoYeah, thanks. Got distracted.
- ramraj07 3y agoI saw numerous Reddit posts of self driving cars causing mayhem. Every single one of them was a Cruise car. Waymo is doing something right. If the cruise fiasco forces more regulation that’s only a good thing. Hopefully waymo passes them all.
- sainez 3y agoYour comment makes it seem like a bad thing. Waymo has the right approach: only applying their technology where they are confident it will not cause issues.
- choppaface 3y agoWaymo’s early safety culture included Anthony Levandowski instigating a collision and celebrating it in a company email https://www.businessinsider.com/anthony-levandowski-google-self-driving-car-crash-2018-10 https://www.businessinsider.com/anthony-levandowski-google-s... That was many years ago, but imagine if the accident had actually been reported and/or regulation existed then.
