Amid Tesla crash concerns Waymo’s new co-CEOs say no shortcuts to safe autonomy
Waymo’s new co-CEOs Tekedra Mawakana and Dmitri Dolgov say Alphabet’s self-driving powerhouse is sticking to a safety-conscious roadmap to robotic ride-hailing, trucks and personal vehicles, even if that means a longer path to commercialization. In their first joint interview, they also share concerns that scrutiny of fatal Tesla accidents, related to its partially automated system, could chip away at consumer confidence in autonomous technology.
