At least they could have given a more up to date report on what they are doing. 7 years passed since 2009 and all we've seen is a couple of promo videos with scant actual information. We have no idea how they compare to Tesla or other self driving car startups.

TL;DR:
> “We’re now an independent company within the Alphabet umbrella,”
> Google is currently equipping a fleet of 100 hybrid Chrysler minivans with its sensors and computing gear that will soon join its nearly 60 prototype autonomous vehicles. The company hasn't yet disclosed when and how it will begin generating revenue from its efforts and Krafcik declined to discuss specific business plans today.

#23Interesting that they built the site with Angular 1.5.7. I thought they would want to showcase Angular 2.

Given that Tesla doesn't even have emergency braking and auto-steering, I'd guess they compare quite favorably...

#28If you look at the cumulative miles driven, the slope has a tendency to increase, as you'd expect as you added more cars to your fleet. In 2013, though, there's a regression in number of new miles logged, and it took until 2015 to catch up to 2012 numbers. Can anyone give insight into the cause?
