Uber ‘Autonomous Solutions’ Reveals Their Strategy, Is It Enough? forbes.com/sites/bradtemp…

@phasegatejumper Right, that's what I said, as I was getting my information directly from Waymo. 70 at a given time, 3000 cars in fleet all the time (not all cars in operation at once, though, as I said.) Not sure what your point is.

@bradtem They said 70 RA operators on duty at any given time, not total. Best to go to the source of the statement instead of reading it through third parties

I delve into the security implications of Waymo remote assist operators overseas, and we learn Waymo only has 70 remote ops for 3,000 cars. forbes.com/sites/bradtemp…

@scotsrule08 Just months? For unsupervised you want it to go many thousands of years between those.

My first safety-related disengagement in months. FSD 14.2.2.4 decided to move into the opposing traffic’s lane to avoid some snow/ice ruts; however, an opposing vehicle was coming, and the vehicle did not move back over, leading me to disengage. Would you have disengaged? @Tesla_AI

@aelluswamy Can you confirm these are unsupervised? As in, nobody watching remotely with ability to emergency stop or otherwise intervene? Or is it more no supervision in-car?

Robotaxi rides without any safety monitors are now publicly available in Austin. Starting with a few unsupervised vehicles mixed in with the broader robotaxi fleet with safety monitors, and the ratio will increase over time.
