And who performed the study? A robotaxi company....

Congratulations you've fallen for the same shit that said cigarettes are healthy, leaded gasoline is fine, and climate change doesn't exist.

Cruise were involved in the study, they had to be, it was their cars being studied.

But the actual research was carried out by the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute (VTTI) & University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute.
