@verge That’s actually smart. The hardest part of self-driving isn’t perfect roads—it’s humans doing weird, sudden, completely human things.

@verge A virtual driver is not just simulation. It is controlled exposure to edge cases reality rarely provides on demand. Autonomy improves when surprise becomes a dataset, not a liability.
