May Mobility's "Little Roady" fiasco: "Safety attendants control the cars about 30% of the time"

Safety attendants control the cars about 30% of the time, said Peter Alviti, director of the Rhode Island Department of Transportation...

Also:

The cars are sometimes flummoxed by what they're seeing. A Little Roady in December halted when sunrise glare bounced off another car. Later that day, vehicle exhaust ahead stopped an AV when a traffic signal turned green. The lasers can perceive rain and snow as a fusillade of solid objects...

On a midday trip, a driver rolled through a stop sign from the side street, blocking Little Roady while it cruised at 22 mph. Lasers in the AV's nose took a couple of seconds to detect the obstacle, before the vehicle braked a car length short of impact. To move again, the attendant seized control with the joystick.

The AV software needs long gaps between cars to merge, so safety attendant Delgado took over while turning from a parking lot to a busy road. To relieve congestion one afternoon, attendants were instructed to use manual mode for an hour and go the max 25 mph, so they wouldn't hinder faster drivers...

Left turns against traffic present a challenge. Is that oncoming car going 25 mph, or 50 mph? To be safe, the attendants tackle busy left turns.

Also, this is false:

In mid-2018... They said rolling stock would be available because Google-affiliated Waymo had announced plans to deploy 82,000 vehicles, and GM said it would sell AVs by 2019.... But the industry tempered its forecasts after an attended, self-driving Uber killed a pedestrian in Arizona in 2018. The Eastside cities failed to win a $12 million federal grant for CommutePool.

The Uber killing was in March of 2018, and Waymo announced the plan to purchase 62,000 Chrysler Pacificas on May 31, 2018, which is more than two months after the Uber fatality.
