- I mean I took my first @Waymo on the freeway in January 2024, but what do I know š« āI just canāt figure out why people donāt trust us !ā
00:00 - Replying to @benhamneryou might have to throw in date formatting to DD/MM/YYYY
- The most bullish sign for @Waymo is that only myself, @reed, and @daylenyang are active on X, the other 1500 engineers are just grinding all day
- Weāve avoided a meaningful number of injuries over @Waymoās 10M+ rider-only miles. Sometimes a specific instance can be more eye-opening than the stats. Weāre not perfect, but our driver never gets distracted and can react faster than a human. From waymo.com/blog/2024/05/fā¦

And it's not just me I have a Monday morning coffee group where we all just gawk at dashboards from the weekend.Our safe and deliberate approach to scaling the Waymo Driver is gaining traction, as weāre now serving more than 50,000 paid trips every week across three major cities. Thank you to our riders for trusting us to get you to your destinations safely and reliably.
00:00 - I'm happy to see @Waymo open-source our miles driven and crash data (with severity) compared to human benchmarks. AFAIK we're the only company that has done this. We also commit to regularly update this site. Of course, the numbers are impressive too! waymo.com/safety/impact/
- Updated my handy chart with the 150k point
