Didn't Waymo start testing without backup drivers in Phoenix, which is exactly as you describe (and also has clear weather nearly every day)? I think they only moved on to SF after deciding things worked well enough there.

For me, the biggest issue with LED bulbs is flicker. And there's a lot of variation between different bulbs, even ones that claim to be flicker-free. There are metrics for quantifying flicker [1], and hopefully they'll be required

Part of the reason to do this is for employees to know that the CEO understands their job and their concerns. The vast majority of employees will not be working at a store the CEO visits, so it makes sense to announce it internally. It soun
