@GaryMarcus @Linda__Stevens Waymo & Cruise have ~shown the safety benefits of speed governors & SOTA AEB, which account for nearly all their claimed safety stat advantages over ave human drivers.

The real issue is regulation or lack thereof. We can have good ADAS at scale saving many lives at modest cost.

@GaryMarcus @Linda__Stevens I think Tesla has scaled about as much as the market demands. The bigger danger is from other companies following their lead bc regulators are too lax, which they seem to be doing:

@Slutitect @cyrusphall @thecliffbar Even if funding for robocars gets cut, we're still in for a nightmare as mfg release whatever L2+ and L3 ADAS tech they can wrap a sales pitch around. Congress will probably have to revise and strengthen NHTSA to be more tech savvy like FAA, FDA, FCC, etc.

@aniccia @Linda__Stevens the real danger from Tesla is if they radically scale it and people start to overtrust it and tune out.

a full roll out of Waymo’s in their current state would indeed be a mess.

@GaryMarcus @Linda__Stevens As bad and dangerous to the level of fatalities as Tesla FSD overhype has been, it is not a systemic risk to the transportation system as it would be if they were all Waymo's current gen system.

@GaryMarcus @Linda__Stevens Waymo's robots can't even handle traffic lights being out without remote assistance. Many examples from this month.

>million people and their traffic lights lost power in the last major SF Bay area quake, 1989 Loma Prieta. What's Waymo's earthquake plan?

Dangerously overhyped.
