GM Cruise is the gift that keeps on giving to this podcast. Cruise and their CEO Kyle have repeatedly claimed that their cars are so much safer than humans. How much safer you ask? Well their new software will recognize a firehose. My 3 year old nephew can do the same thing but the DMV won't let him drive a car. Also in this episode Michael gives Anthony some driving advice, NHTSA investigates Cruise for being as good as a bad human driver when it comes to pedestrians, Hawaii cuts down on catalytic convertor theft, Fred explains what a minimal risk condition is and hopefully the autonomous vehicle industry can establish a standard for one and we discuss some recalls of Fords and Tesla's.This weeks links:https://jalopnik.com/update-to-gm-s-cruise-robotaxis-will-try-to-stop-them-f-1850925703https://getcruise.com/news/blog/2023/how-were-improving-emergency-vehicle-and-first-responder-interactions/https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/inv/2023/INOA-PE23018-11587.pdfhttps://www.autoevolution.com/news/kia-patches-the-kia-boyz-patch-updated-upgrade-now-available-222794.htmlhttps://jalopnik.com/hawaii-figured-out-how-to-stop-catalytic-theft-why-has-1850929873https://www.businessinsider.com/zipcar-fined-renting-recalled-ford-transits-nhtsa-2023-10https://jalopnik.com/people-are-souring-on-self-driving-cars-1850899836?trk=feed_main-feed-card_feed-article-contenthttps://ca-times.brightspotcdn.com/54/02/2d5919914cfe9549e79721b12e66/j3016-202104.pdfhttps://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2023/RCLRPT-23V675-3320.PDFhttps://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2023/RCLRPT-23V679-9146.PDF
