Cruise’s robotaxis have driven 1 million miles with nobody behind the wheel
said it was maintaining a fleet of 100 vehicles by September last year and was seeking to add 5,000 more.
Mo Elshenawy, Cruise's SVP of engineering, said each one of those miles"has been packed with complex scenarios that have set Cruise up for rapid scale." Since San Francisco streets are often chaotic and packed with people, the company was able to gather tons of useful data it can use to better its technology."For example," Elshenawy wrote in apost,"stop sign blow-throughs are 46x times more frequent in San Francisco than in suburban areas.
Cruise has been feeding data from each drive into a continuous learning machine that creates millions of permutations of real-world scenarios on the road. That allows the technology to learn from simulated drives and then apply what it learns in real life."When you consider our safety record, the gravity of our team’s achievement comes into sharper focus," Elshenawy continued."To date, riders have taken tens of thousands of rides in Cruise AVs.
