According to report from John Krafcik, CEO of Waymo which is the driver less car division of Alphabet, the company will not harvest data from its fleet of autonomous vehicles. He said "Their aim is moving people around the world and that is very hard to the core of his body, and is not saying it won't be a work stream in the future but at the moment it is not in their work space".
Previously Uber has suspended its self-driving operations in other cities including Tempe, Pittsburgh, San Francisco and Toronto following a fatal accident that killed a woman. Meanwhile a self-driving Volvo SUV from Uber travelling at 64 km per hour killed the woman in Arizona last month, triggering a heated debate on whether autonomous cars are safe enough and who is to blame for the death.
Further Waymo's self-driving Chrysler Pacifica
hybrid minivans were also being tested on public roads in Arizona and California.
Moreover as per report Google's Waymo recently patented a technology that
will make its self-driving cars soft on the outside if it comes across a
situation where there is a possibility of an accident with a human.
