As I said, theoretically viable if all employees were supervisors. But they're not.
- smokel 2y agoI tend to agree with you that it's very likely that the cars are operating autonomously most of the time. However, I don't think this kind of math helps much in actually proving (or disproving) that. We don't know how many of the employees are supervisors. For all we know, Waymo hires dozens of external mechanical turks per vehicle and uses a simple majority voting algorithm to ensure safety. Unlikely, or even ridiculous, but apart from Waymo's press releases, and the accidental legislation report [1], there is little hard evidence.
