Google's internal tooling for this is actually way behind what's available to the general public (they just got access to Claude though!)

And their internal stuff is hard for public LLMs to understand

Uh oh. I watched Person of Interest, I know how this goes down.

Imagine Anthropic for using Gemini internally and anticipating for it

It's not self driving though... people should stop pretending it is. It's driving assist. Think of it as a slightly better lane-keep and adaptive cruise control (which often require intervention in stock configuration).

Adaptive cruise control will detect a stopped car and come to a complete stop - but only sometimes. Might depend on speed difference or even the color or shape of the car or object. So it's very possible that the car stopped in previous situations, and the driver completely expected it would do the same, especially with such a large emergency vehicle with flashing lights. By the time the driver realized the car did not detect the emergency vehicle, it may have been too late.

These systems are unable to detect when intervention is required.
