AI is Not Slowing Down, Except for Stop Lights

After 25.3 million fully autonomous miles a new study from Waymo and Swiss Re concludes:

[T]he Waymo ADS significantly outperformed both the overall driving population (88% reduction in property damage claims, 92% in bodily injury claims), and outperformed the more stringent latest-generation HDV benchmark (86% reduction in property damage claims and 90% in bodily injury claims). This substantial safety improvement over our previous 3.8-million-mile study not only validates ADS safety at scale but also provides a new approach for ongoing ADS evaluation.

As you may also have heard, o3 is solving 25% of Frontier Math challenges–these are not in the training set and are challenging for Fields medal winners. Here are some examples of the types of questions:

Thus, we are rapidly approaching super human driving and super human mathematics.

Stop looking to the sky for aliens, they are already here.
