Our Reading
The announcement sounds ambitious.
NHTSA says emergency scenes aren’t “edge cases.” Because, of course, they aren’t.
Emergency responders might have already known this.
It’s about time autonomous vehicles caught up.
The devil is in the edge cases, after all.
It’s just another term for “we didn’t think of that.”
