I'm ready for autonomous taxis to be everywhere and to never own a car again. I've ridden Waymo in SF a handful of times. It's a far better experience than other taxis. You can watch the lidar display to see everything it sees, which is everything. sfstandard.com/2024/03/13/way…

George and I wrote a blog post on calibration through the lens of decision making: let-all.com/blog/2024/03/1… We think calibration has strong semantics as 'trustworthiness', and that lots can be gained by designing uncertainty quantification for particular decision making tasks.
