It took them a long time to deploy there and required extensive (human) preparatory work. I'm guessing that their algorithm was fine-tuned for SF specifically, possibly being taugh…

This statistic could be misleading, because not all miles are equally dangerous. Google is very careful about selecting where it deploys and tests Waymo, preferring flat, safe, wel…
