This person just has no idea how AVs work and thinks an openly shared approach to AVs is a conspiracy

When you're ignorant on a topic, it's not surprising that every fact you come across might end up being misconstrued as discovering some well-hidden secret.

Thanks. I'm surprised how little activity there is on their blog, just 7 posts in the last year and none of any technical depth. Even Cruise has made some posts (https://medium.com/cruise/cruise-simulation-sensor-development-be57a59…

Incredible tech from the videos through the technology page and the medium post :O
Their UI looks incredibly sexy

Also the quality of their simulator, I've never seen anything like this in production.

Re "CA DMV's autonomous vehicle accident reports for 2019.[1] Cruise has a lot of them." Cruise has just put up a post dismissing the disengagement metric. It seems to me they're on a PR campaign to keep funding coming.

There are some indirect references to price in here: https://medium.com/cruise/the-cruise-origin-story-b6e9ad4b47e5 I don't know why they give both the manufacturing cost ("half the cost of what a conventional electric SUV costs") and the cost to the customer ("on average, see up to $5,000 back in their pocket every year").
