General Motors’ Cruise says it's suspending its driverless operations nationwide as the robotaxi service works to rebuild public trust.

Cruise has also previously maintained that its record of driverless miles have outperformed comparable human drivers in terms of safety, notably crash rates.

But is this actually true? I hate that they just printed this without any attempt to verify it. Surely some independent body has looked into this by now.

Pretty sure it IS 1v1 factually true, but the real question is, "why?". Is it because everyone is weary around a car with a huge-ass camera and sensor system on top that doesn't have a driver? Or because the system is good?

I am sure it is true in at least some sense because they would be called on an outright lie but there are many ways you can deceive with true numbers. And I don’t trust them to be fully honest.

But if it is accurate I’d like to see an independent analysis rather than the company’s spin on it.

Oh definitely. It could be to no quality of the cars themselves if their driving record is from everyone else avoiding them on the road.
