00:00 Greetings!
00:13 Left turn and overall first impressions
00:52 Hey Mr. Vogt, please reconsider
01:21 Max speed is 25
01:43 They covered up the lights, and theres an iPhone taped to the ceiling
02:05 Second Cruise ride
02:44 Odd turning behavior?
03:02 Routing is also odd
03:13 Bit of a freaky left turn
03:35 Another example of the strange turning behavior
04:03 Stop sign right turn
04:26 Pointing a bit to the right at stoplights
04:52 Better left turn
05:23 Stop sign right turn
05:35 A bit of odd path planning/trouble lining up for things
06:21 Another unnecessarily wide left turn
06:41 Stop sign right
06:52 Showing where the remote assist happened
07:03 Bit of sudden braking
07:53 Coming up on the end of the second ride
08:48 Beginning of third Cruise ride

11:27 Pinballing all over the road (sorta)
12:06 Nice right turn
12:22 Pinch to zoom on the map!!
13:03 Smooth stop sign
13:23 Tilting to the right at a stop light and falsely putting on the signal
14:00 Another robotic turn
14:11 Three rights to make a left
14:43 Going too far forward into a left turn
15:01 Good left turn
15:18 Stop sign right and another Cruise vehicle
15:35 Three rights to make a left
16:28 EXTREMELY hard phantom brake, full stop
16:58 Stop sign right
17:12 Stop sign right, could be a bit of a trickier turn
17:38 Stop sign, arrived at the same time as another car
18:07 Garbage can in the bike lane
18:17 Speed bump on a right turn
18:36 Motorcyclist wanting to turn in front
19:09 Do you have to slow *all* the way down for every speed bump?
19:44 Main road crossing
19:59 Fake left turn signal?
20:14 Parked car shenanigans
20:28 A bunch of police off to the side
20:52 Left turn
21:13 Stop sign right
21:29 Turning left into a bike lane?
21:40 Drifting into the bike lane to turn left???
22:13 Routing
22:26 Good left turn
23:05 Stop light
23:15 Left turn that goes just a little bit too far forward
23:50 Bit of medium braking around parked cars
24:13 Going way too far forward and making a sharp left turn
24:25 Going in between parked cars rather than going straight
24:50 Stop sign right
25:33 Good left turn
26:05 Bit of hard braking into a right turn
26:50 Great right turn
27:05 Turning right, left, right, right, and right to avoid a single left
27:32 Left turn
27:43 Sharp steering/braking reaction to... is it trailers??
28:14 Stop sign right, yielding to a cat
28:34 Good right turn onto a street with parked cars
29:00 Doing that extremely weird snaking thing with the parked cars again
29:20 Stop sign right
29:51 Tilting right at the stop light again
30:30 Good four way stop
31:03 Right turn... left turn... righ wha?
31:29 Being pretty hesitant all around for this last section
31:55 Slowing way down for presumably the car on the other side of the road
32:30 My current verdict
32:44 Final bit of what the heck is it doing
33:00 All things considered, that was pretty good
33:29 Off into the night!")
