> No safety data, no reporting, no oversight: the classification has significant consequences for transparency. The CPUC collects detailed per-trip data from actual AV operators — including location data, passenger data, vehicle miles traveled, idling time, and “stoppage events” (instances where a vehicle is stuck for more than two minutes or requires remote intervention). This data is published in quarterly reports available to the public.
> None of that applies to Tesla.
Shocking that Tesla, who Musk claims, and Tesla-stans, here and elsewhere claim to be the "most transparent" company re self-driving choose a license that barely makes any sense (limousine/chauffeur car permitting) for anything to do with autonomous driving for anything other than a complete lack of transparency and reporting on vehicle events.
