I'm taking in a larger context. I think just reading the three cited examples is an incorrect approach. For one, Waymo isn't sharing "all" their data, they've already been highlighted for bad practices in terms of only sharing the data from when their Waymo team decided was a bad decision. That's not necessarily objective, and can also lead to perverse incentives to obfuscate. So we don't have a great set of data to work with, because the data sharing requirements have not been well-defined or standardized. Secondly, if you look at reports of other accidents, you can see where AV developers have heinously poor practices as it relates to safety-critical software. Delaying actions as a mitigation for nuisance braking is really, really bad idea when you are delaying a potentially safety critical action. I'm not saying Waymo is bad in this regard, but we know other AV developers are and, when you combine that with the lack of confidence in the data and the previous questionable decisions around transparency, it should raise some questions.
