A couple weeks ago, GM's Cruise Automation released a remarkable self-driving video from the streets of San Fransisco that Driverless analyzed in detail. And now they've just released a new one giving more insight into their growing mastery of the complex roads in San Francisco, specifically, the Potrero Hill and Mission Dolores neighborhoods.

Kyle Vogt, CEO of Cruise Automation, had this to say:

This video was captured from one of our autonomous vehicles during a series of back to back test rides. No advance planning was done, and this was captured in a single take. The operator selected a random destination using the Cruise mobile app, pushed a button, and the vehicle started moving. Rides like this occur hundreds of times per day across our test fleets. — Kyle Vogt, CEO of Cruise Automation

This video is better quality than the last one, although sped up in a similar manner, and shows Cruise's test vehicle Albatross, an autonomous 2017 Chevrolet Bolt, hard at work. Albatross is just one of many of Cruise's test fleet, of which the full list of names can be seen in Cruise's filing for the California DMV's 2016 Disengagement Reports.

In response to online criticisms that there was no proof in the previous video that the car was actually self-driving, this video includes an inset video (picture-in-picture, or PiP) of the steering wheel. The safety driver can be seen paying close attention to the vehicle, but at no point intervenes and causes a disengagement of the automated driving system.
