General Motors’ Cruise autonomous vehicle unit has agreed to cut its fleet of San Francisco robotaxis in half as authorities investigate two recent crashes in the city.
The state Department of Motor Vehicles asked for the reduction after a Cruise vehicle without a human driver collided with an unspecified emergency vehicle on Thursday.
So, how many other car crashes happened in the same time frame?
These crashes are all by the same “driver”. If one person crashed two cars in a day, don’t you think they should stop driving for a bit?
Hm, that’s actually a pretty good analogy. I haven’t thought of it that way before.
No it’s not. If that one person crashed twice after 500 trips and everyone else is crashing once after 200 trips, I’m still taking the person whose average crashes is more than two times less often.
How is that in any way comparable?
