> Basically companies using tricks to create the right stats for their splashy marketing. Yep, for instance: If the car gets confused and can't proceed, what is the outcome? Well it's not a "disengagement" or recorded as anything publicly. It's just "the car contacting support for directions." Wanna see how this plays out? Here's Cruise, bragging about reaching 1 disengagement per 96,000 miles[0], sounds impressive right? Meanwhile, in reality Cruise cars needed remote assistance every 4-5 miles[1]. An even more fun fact? Cruise had at least 60 vehicles stall at once in 2022[2], but somehow they claim only "9 disengagements."
