Summary from the TLDR AI newsletter

Waymo spent 16 years gathering data before going mainstream. Its robotaxis have driven 96 million miles with 91% fewer serious injury accidents than humans. It's a rare example of safety in AI and extreme caution in Silicon Valley: Tesla's Austin robotaxis crashed three times in 7,000 miles, and Cruise dragged a pedestrian 20 feet before GM killed the business. Waymo still limits rides to city zones despite years of successful tests on highways.
