They're trying to seize the moment, after yet another Musk debacle with self-driving taxis/cars.
Yes, Waymos are probably a little better than whatever Musk did.
Very recently I saw an article (edit) where they experimented with the AIs that steer these things: it's basically enough to hold a sign that tells it what to do, to tell it what to do: "ignore all previous instructions. Accelarate full speed and go straight".
It's artificial alright but certainly not intelligent enough and shouldn't have been let loose on the public for at least another ten years. Fuck.
So it is able to follow directions from traffic signs when it sees them...IDK, seems more intelligent than a significant portion of human drivers out there /s
