> Why are there so many videos on Twitter and Reddit of pedestrians literally dodging out of the way to avoid being run over?

Part of the answer here is probably "because no one bothers to film human drivers doing this, as it's commonplace".




I'm sure there is a selection bias. But if AVs are really an improvement, Cruise should prove it to the CPUC with actual data. Otherwise, I'll continue to believe outrageous videos [like this](https://twitter.com/flrent/status/1677483882109882368) over Cruise's claims.


I feel like this argument just needs to stop.

If you're designing planes, they shouldn't just be doing a bit of casual swerving towards the terminal during taxing. We're engineering solutions, not making kind of working stuff.
