I think the parent wasn't referring to it being perfect, but that open road real-life testing is something very few companies have, and was implying we shouldn't count out Cruise because they are at least at that stage.

as a fellow beta tester, they are expanding their service area to include a majority of the city incl Mission.
Totally agree w/ you rn thou right now it's basically a neat party trick I have to go out of my way to show off instead of a super useful service.

It's been a month and a half since they've covered almost the entire city except FiDi/Union Square (and Twin Peaks)[1]. That's not a trivial omission, but do you really never take rides that start or end in any other area? In particular, that entire area is a fairly close walk from the only dense transit line in the city.
- only after 10pm - used such an odd slice of the city I not only can't get picked up, it doesn't GO any where I go.
I would love to use either of these programs both for the novelty and because I think Autonomous driving is great, but I literally can't use the program I do have access to.
