I'd like to hear how Kyle Vogt is going to spin this one that the Cruise car is still safer overall than the humans despite continually being the ones in the spotlight as being a safety hazard that doesn't belong on the road.


Media coverage of event A over event B doesn't mean event A happens more frequently or severely than event B.

Not saying Cruise is doing well or poorly statistically, just that we can't determine that by how frequently they show up in headlines.


Don't forget that if your way of making sense of the world is based entirely on what's in the spotlight, then you are always at the mercy of the spotlight operator.
