I know most of it was PR but the stuff Waymo did about showing a test course they built and actually having "unit tests" related to driving showed me they're not dumping these things on the road to make money, they're trying to get it right.
The competition:
Uber kills someone and turns out they disabled "breaking due to objects in the way" because it makes it jerkier.
Tesla is often killing the drivers because they marketed it as "auto-pilot"
Cruise rolled over someone for 20 seconds.
I would have to agree. I honestly hate regulatory capture in most industries, but perhaps Waymo's "unit tests" should be turned over to the DMV and made as the gold standard driving test for AI drivers.
