It remains to be seen if autonomous driving systems are actually safe.
What a strange, leading expression. The phrase "[i]t remains to be seen if" is almost meaningless and highly editorial.
Alternative example:
It remains to be seen if microplastics will cause higher rates of cancer.
It remains to be seen if organic peanut butter will cause lower rates of cancer.
What is your reaction to this data published by Waymo? Do you agree that many would reasonably conclude that this particular AV system was safe in these cities? I say yes. I write this as someone who is cautiously optimistic about AV. Waymo seems genuinely lower on the hyper compared to other AV companies. I hope they continue this path of higher transparency to encourage other AV companies to do the same.
