This entire article is about them discovering issues during simulations and then fixing them before deploying to the streets.
So if your attempt is genuinely to question their intentions then it should be very obvious what those intentions are.
Stating facts from the article and being reasonable is hyperbole?
Even before GM, Cruise has been using their vehicles on public roads since 2020. How many kids has it killed since then?
The answer is precisely zero.
Over that same period human drivers killed about 528 pedestrian children.
Now “foul!” You may cry, as the data is for national averages versus isolated incidents, to which I would both agree and point out that Cruise has been operating in 13 major metropolitan cities now.
“Well that’s all fine and dandy, money_loo, but just you wait until the day they hit and kill a kid!”
