> Waymo has around 200, we expect to pass them by the end of the year.

Do you have any idea how ridiculous you sound? Waymo is a serious engineering effort with a lot of talented people working to do it right. There's a lot more to it than just how much data you throw at your NN.[0] Not to mention other companies comply with the law and report all their accidents.[1] Last year, you canceled your product[2] rather than answer a very short and simple safety questionnaire[3]. (Seriously, I've seen SaaS security compliance questionnaires with five times as many questions on them; that letter from the NHTSA was nothing!)

If you're still driving your vehicles around the streets of the SF Bay Area without any permits you are putting a lot of people in danger, including me. Pardon me if I think you're not only full of it, but irresponsible as well.
