Waymo robo taxis rack up million miles without killing anyone
Remarkably, no one was hurt in the making of this milestone and there were only two collisions serious enough to meet the National Highway Safety Transportation Administration's reporting criteria, which include the need to file a police report and/or towing one and more vehicles away.
"The Waymo AV exerted maximum brake force to avoid contact, but was unable to stop before making contact with the passenger vehicle, which had entered the intersection and was still braking," the paper explains."At the time of contact, the Waymo AV was traveling at approximately 21 mph and the passenger vehicle was traveling at approximately 10 mph."
Having demonstrated that Waymo autonomous vehicles can operate on public roads without drivers, the company coincidentally believes it can get by with fewer employees.that it adjusted its organizational structure this year and that led to staff reductions in January and now in March. Taken together, the two rounds of cuts amount to around 8 percent of the approximately 2,600 employees at the company.
