Waymo CEO on Fatal Uber Crash: Our Car Would Have Been Able to Handle It

I still wonder how well all this tech will play with each when there are many cars from different companies running around? Will sensor signals from one car interfere with the sensors on another? There aren't unlimited frequencies available for these signals. Fairly easy for there to be 50~100 cars at a busy intersection. If they are all sending out sensor signals, will they confuse each other? Its all fine that Waymo has tested one car and one pedestrian scenarios. Have they tested 50 car scenarios with a mix of pedestrians, bicycles, dogs, squirrels, flying plastic bags, etc. Better be sure before you start boasting that your car is better then your competitors.

I'm envisioning a packed intersection and a couple of plastic bags float into the road, crippling all the cars...
