<p>Quantity is a quality of its own.<p>Maybe there is enough plane onboard capacity to deal with just 50 batteries, let's say; multiply the failure rate expected and the pax capacity of the plane and you get how many batteries you can afford to have onboard and still be able to deal with worst case scenario.</p>

<p>Don't assign to malice what can be explained by incompetence:<p>* new automated UX experiments starts
* the UI bot made a change that made the page unscrollable
* the experiment has a much higher rate of retention then the control (because people can't scroll)
* the experiment is deemed a success by results analysis (no one looks at the page to see WHY)
* the experiment is blessed as the new pipeline<p>Such an obvious business improvement made by Gemini !</p>

<p>I beg to differ, waymo doesn't have humans ready to take over at the first sign of trouble, there are no remote-driven Waymos. The operators make remote high level executive decisions by clickin items in a menu, not by driving.<p>Also Waymo is cash positive per car, and more expensive then human drivers - they accidentally unlocked a premium market where people are happy to pay extra to not deal with other humans. At their price point its certainly worth doing the robotaxi business</p>
