    Cruise and Waymo have self-driving cars, without safety drivers, driving around cities right now.

    We know what hardware it takes - More than just cameras and some premapping is required.

        Does cutting their fleet mean they stopped operating or they reduced the size of their fleet?

        One of the crashes was a car running a red light and hitting the Cruise vehicle.

          It means these vehicles are still crashing even when geofenced to operate in ‘perfect’ conditions with premapped destinations. This is not a fully functional system as they can’t operate outside these city grids at low speeds in favorable weather conditions with a premapped route. Compare miles driven between Cruise and Teslas systems. One has several orders of magnitude more miles than the other.
