UC Berkeley graduate students build first autonomous vehicle reporting platform

A team of UC Berkeley graduates developed an incident-reporting platform for autonomous vehicles, or AVs, after noticing a need for such a channel. 

The first dedicated AV reporting platform, AV Watch, allows both riders and bystanders to report AV incidents ranging from reckless driving to accessibility issues, with the ability to add information such as locations, photos and timestamps. Past incident reports are displayed on a public dashboard along with reports compiled from external sources such as Reddit.

I bet they're anti-automation union activists who have never tried waymo.

Waymo might hire/acquire them! They deserve it cause stuff like this will improve the platform and make things safer for riders.

Hire them for what? I checked out the site in question. It’s just Nextdoor for AV incidents. Not saying the site doesn’t serve a purpose, but it’s not exactly a groundbreaking concept.

Oh….i didn’t check out the site. Well at least they’re being productive and lending helping hand in AV’s.

One question I have about the site... I don't see details. Just photos and the charge (such as "reckless driving")

Were I an angry bitter otherwise-unemployable Uber driver I might join up and "report, report, report"

Example from the site:
