Each of the million miles driven by Cruise’s autonomous vehicles were without a safety driver behind the wheel, and according to Mo Elshenawy, Cruise’s SVP of engineering, “has been packed with complex scenarios that have set Cruise up for rapid scale.” Cruise has been gathering data from each drive to feed into a continuous learning machine that creates millions of permutations of real-world scenarios on the road, enabling its technology to learn from simulated drives and apply this knowledge in real-life situations.
