I’ve seen enough of these driving around that they actually feel safer being around than human drivers and mile-for-mile the stats show that they’re safer… however it feels like lately they’ve been put under a massive microscope with any mistake being played up like they’re the worst thing ever. It almost feels like a smear campaign. I’m curious who/why (Musk and his “robotaxi “ are ones that come to mind)

I don’t trust any testing done by any firm whose finances depend on successful testing results. Independent third-party validation or GTFO. Self-regulation isn’t worth shit.

They have to report any accidents to the authorities. They tend to be very diligent on this as cruise, another former autonomous vehicle company, went under after it lied about how an accident happened.

How about a peer reviewed analysis of crash data and percentage of autonomous driving vs humans?
