> In the annotated video played for the jury, the vehicle detects a vehicle about 170 feet away. A subsequent frame shows it detecting a pedestrian about 116 feet away. As McGee hurtles closer and closer, the video shows the Tesla planning a path through Angulo’s truck, right where he and his girlfriend were standing behind signs and reflectors highlighting the end of the road.

So the Tesla detected the vehicle and the pedestrian, and then plans a path through them? Wow! How bad is this software?

You can take a Waymo any time of day in SF and they provide 1000s of successful rides daily

Not all self-driving vehicles are created equal, Tesla and Waymo are not in the same league.

I'm curious; why does it matter to you how many man-hours Waymo spends on a functional service? Would it be disqualifying if it's "too much" in your estimation?
