"The trust and safety of the communities where we operate is paramount to us. That’s why we’re voluntarily sharing our safety data.
The data to date indicates the Waymo Driver is already making roads safer in the places where we currently operate. Specifically, the data below demonstrates that the Waymo Driver is better than humans at avoiding crashes that result in injuries — both of any severity and specifically serious ones — as well as those that lead to airbag deployments."
It’s because humans are just reckless with vehicles around pedestrians and cyclists.
They forgot to publish the speed limit deltas for waymo and humans.
The fact that they showed less pedestrian collisions “with injuries” implies that they’re frequently meandering into peds at walking pace.
From what I’ve heard, these things are motorised traffic cones on the road.
I’ve ridden them a couple times, works ok as long as NOTHING UNUSUAL IS HAPPENING
PARADES ARE A PROBLEM
Ah yes, a company’s own press release straight from their website. Definitely an unbiased “news” source.
Is this 71 million miles during daylight hours, on bright sunny days, on quiet roads, at ≤20 mph?
No.
These are at normal ride-share hours throughout the city in all conditions. I’ve been in one during the day going through LA traffic and one at night with no traffic up to around 45 mph. They are allowed to drive on LA’s 405 freeway, which has a speed limit of 65mph, but I haven’t done that yet.
They won’t be able to handle a MN winter.
Even the best gps isn’t accurate enough to know what lane you’re in (or on the shoulders,)
Remove lane markings (ie snow coverage) and bad visibility by both the LIDAR and daylight in any serious snowfall, and you have a recipe for cars going “weeee!” Into the ditch.
(Granted that first snow usually has a shocking number of cars going into the ditch anyway. Usually people learn their lesson, though.)
LA is the noob zone for self driving.
and was the data in your ride(s) used in this study?
71 million miles in simulators and closed tracks
If by simulators and closed tracks you mean city streets of Los Angeles, San Francisco, Phoenix, and Austin… then you are correct??
even better.
When I was able to ride, I think we got up to 45!
Is that the self-driving spybase that’s doing so well in LA?
