AutoX and Pony.ai in China have been been offering rides to the public with no safety driver for much longer than Waymo

- AlotOfReading 2y agoWaymo has been doing public rides (2015) since before either company was founded (2016). Pony.ai also got their permit suspended twice in California for different safety-related reasons, so the comparison says more about the different regulatory environment in China than it does about their relative maturity.
- saddlerustle 2y agoWaymo was not doing public rides in 2015. It was invite only and you had to sign an NDA
- AlotOfReading 2y agoThey were doing rides for members of the public. That's a public ride.
- crazygringo 2y agoNo, public means accessible to the ~whole public, not a tiny subset. Invite-only is quite literally the opposite of public. It's private.
