Uber exited the autonomous vehicle race several years ago. AFAICT, largely because of this mismatch. Who's still in this area (in a serious way) that behaves like that?
replyDidn't they just launch autonomous Ubers in London last week?
replyYou can request a ride via Uber. They aren't building the tech. I find it a bit unclear who is operating the fleet (Uber or Wayve), but that seems irrelevant when the question is whether the vehicles' autonomous technology is safe.
replyWhich autonomous vehicle company has that as their motto?
replyStop asking relevant questions! I have a narrative to push and you are getting in the way.
reply"Move fast and break things" looks obviously bad for an autonomous vehicle ...
replyThat’s a Facebook motto but Facebook (now Meta) isn’t in AVs. I suppose that excludes Facebook of pre 2016 from participating in AVs? I think everyone is fine with that.
replyWaymo's mission is literally "to be the world's most trusted driver"
replyThey put safety above all else and actually goal to it.
This is a stunning attempt to rewrite history.
reply> It was Levandowski who...had persuaded Google’s leadership to spend millions of dollars inventing self-driving cars.
> Some of the biggest fights involved risks that Levandowski was taking in self-driving experiments. ... “If it is your job to advance technology, safety cannot be your No. 1 concern,” Levandowski told me. “If it is, you’ll never do anything. It’s always safer to leave the car in the driveway. You’ll never learn from a real mistake.” [0]
