Every statement that passed quotation and attribution checks. Mix any filter with any other: certainty 1/5, debate potential 5/5, or both at once.
why aren't all 17 resolved? a statement only gets an assessment when the public record can support or contradict it. opinions and what-ifs never can, and 0 checkable ones are still open, waiting for their date. predictions held up or didn't; assertions are supported or contradicted. on every card: ▮▮▮▮▮ certainty · ▮▮▮▮▮ debate potential. speakers are clickable
Dolgov: Waymo will continue using LiDAR, radar, and cameras together
“So yeah, I think the trend, you know, for us that we'll, you know, using all three modalities just, you know, makes a lot of sense.”
Waymo logged zero injury collisions across its first million fully autonomous miles
“In that, we published our full crash text. And there was not a single collision with injury. Not a single one. And only two of them would, you know, meet the standards of a reportability called CISS.”
Waymo re-simulations successfully avoided every fatal crash in Phoenix's East Valley
“We took every fatal crash that had occurred and re-simulated and showed that Wemo could avoid that.”
Dolgov: Swiss Re study showed zero bodily injury claims for Waymo
“We published a joint study with a Swiss RE. Which is, I think, the largest global reinsurer in the world, and the way they look at it is, you know, who contributed to an event, and there we saw, ah, like the same theme, but the numbers were, ah, very strong, t…”
Dolgov: Waymo driverless cars cut injury crashes by 3.5x
“And I think 3.5 acts as the reduction in injury. And that's about two X reduction in the police reportable kind of lower severity incidents.”
Panigrahi: Waymo operates fully autonomous rides and airport pickups in Phoenix

Waymo operates 24/7 across San Francisco, Phoenix, LA, and Austin
“In terms of where we are today, you know, we are up, you know, driving in all kinds of conditions. We're driving, you know 24 seven in San Francisco, in Phoenix, you know, a little bit those are the most mature markets, but also in L.A. And in Austin, and, you…”
Panigrahi: Waymo rides require no front-seat human driver or takeover
“Fully autonomous as you can see, nobody in the front seat, no expectation of a human to take over.”
Waymo has driven millions of autonomous miles and billions in simulation
“And by the way, the two million thing that you mentioned, that's just the fully autonomous miles. We have billions in simulation.”
Waymo has logged over 20 million real-world testing miles
“By having driven twenty million plus miles in testing, by having done billions of miles of simulation, we become aware of problem spaces that others may not have discovered yet.”
Waymo Partners with AutoNation to Service Autonomous Vehicle Fleets
“AutoNation has an agreement with Waymo to service their self-driving cars at a bunch of the AutoNation locations around the country.”
Panigrahi: Waymo vehicles can see 360 degrees up to three football fields away
“This car with those appendages, as you mentioned, can see three football fields away, 360 degree, and it's getting a snapshot multiple times a second.”
Panigrahi: Waymo designed its next-gen autonomous vehicle platform with Geely
“Our next generation vehicle that we did design with C, VT, and Geely is a pretty powerful platform taught with the rider in mind.”
Panigrahi: Waymo warns passengers about approaching cyclists to prevent dooring
“And the reason, by the way, ah, we're switching a little bit from safety to user experience design, the reason it told you cyclists approaching is what we know is even when the car is stopped, what happens is people open the door, and the cyclist was like, I m…”
