It’s always Cruise. SF already cut their fleet by 50%, it’s only a matter of time until they’re off the road entirely.

They say their video evidence shows that the ambulance didn't egress when it could have, but they won't release the video publicly. I hope we get better self driving cars in the future, but not like this.

It's almost like AI isn't ready to be on the road and should be immediately taken off.

These cruise cars have been driving themselves before AI became a buzzword. Try again.

I know you're talking about the current AI hype cycle, but it was a buzzword in the 60s and again in the 80s.

Cruise has only existed as a company since 2013.

Google has had AI driving cars since roughly 2009.

This current batch of AI is only better in that it has data sets that are roughly 1000 to 10k times bigger, otherwise it's the same chatbot AI we've had for the last 15 years.

You sir or madam, are the one who has failed and needs to try again.

It’s only better in that it’s been trained to a greater degree and is generally better?

I wonder how many drivers block ambulances, a lot more than driverless cars do I wager
