Waymo Is Crushing The Field In Driverless Cars

Imagine if you could pick between Uber drivers based on their driving experience. Would you hire an experienced driver who has logged hundreds of thousands of road miles or one who has driven just a few hundred miles? I'll bet you'd go with the experienced driver. Now apply the same question to driverless cars. The same logic applies: Go with experience. That's because the deep learning AI techniques used to train driverless cars depend on data--especially data that illuminates rare and dangerous "edge cases."
