It is weird hearing a company talk about releasing a new technology in a safe and responsible manner, when the Scooby Doo villains running other tech companies (or other divisions of that company) no longer even bother putting their rubber masks on in the morning.

Mawakana said that Waymo has taken what it views as the "safest path."

"There's probably a lot of ways it can be done, but we're the only ones that have done it," she said. "We've been doing it 24 hours a day for almost five years. And so to us, it's really important to focus on safety, not focus on safety and then cost — not cost and then safety."

Jahre hinter #Waymo: #Tesla Mitarbeiter gibt Rückstand bei #Robotaxis zu. Mal gespannt, wie lange er noch dort arbeitet?😜 https://glm.io/196444?n

Maybe behind every "autonomous" #Tesla will be a 1:1 teleoperator…

"The only way Tesla could leapfrog #Waymo is by deploying level 4 autonomy in its customer fleet as promised for years, but I don’ see that happening anytime soon.

I think that the only way Tesla can safely deploy level 4 in an internal fleet in Austin next month is through mapping, geofencing, and high level of teleoperations, maybe even 1:1 teleoperation. I’d be happy to be proven wrong though."

Long term, autonomous cars will need more than AI. 

It will need self-maintenance intelligence.

Cars should know when they’re dirty. 
Drive themselves to base. 
Wait in line for a cleaning bot. 
Get reset.
Get redeployed.

There’s a whole second-order infrastructure no one’s building yet: 

The Airbnb-for-cars layer - cleaning, resetting, restocking.

I remember when the Chauffeur project was first unveiled at a quarterly Engineering All Hands meeting (and, amazingly, didn't instantly leak). It's one of Google's more profound moonshots that seems to have stood the test of time and I'm very excited to watch its continued progress, even though I never had anything to do with it.
