Why? And what?
What is so magical about L5 criteria? Today Waymo is performing drives on public roads, and it’s safer than a human. Today. With whatever Lx criteria it meets. The label is irrelevant, all that matters is the mile-per-mile record of being safer.
Not sure what “Waymos own admission” means, but they out perform not underperform.

- forgetfreeman 2y agoNah. The automation criteria are very well defined. Waymo's current self-reported automation level means there are things human drivers can do, situations they're capable of navigating correctly, that their equipment can't cope with.

- forgetfreeman 2y agoIs it really? Look how often comments here and elsewhere express impatience that the majority of vehicles on the road aren't fully autonomous. Since we know there are conditions under which self-driving tech loses the plot, ubiquity would necessarily involve deploying self driving equipment under those very conditions with predictable results (see also FSB early adopter shitshow).
