It's insane that they need permits for 8 cars that have humans driving them in 2025, when they're already fully automated in SF.

Clearly not.

You sound like a junior admin. "Why do we need to keep testing? It works in the SF office?"

Because they are completely different environments.

I didn't say testing was stupid. I said permitting only 8 vehicles for human testing from the leader in self-driving cars, years after they've been fully autonomous in other dense cities, isn't the flex he thinks it is.

8 is probably Waymo's choice. It's not said anywhere that it's the permit limit.
