On: Google self-driving car crashes were covered up

Everyone games the mandatory safety reporting. Mostly by doing testing under the radar and/or outside California. Google has taken that a step further by counting disengagements (meaning instances of the system failing and having to be overriden by the driver) only when the system would definitely have crashed.

With no external oversight, no transparency, and a sketchy record of honest reporting.
