Abstract
With the development of autonomous driving technology, higher-level autonomous driving is hopeful to be applied in vehicles, and drivers’ control of the car will also be replaced by intelligent algorithms. At the same time, a question has been raised as to whether the traditional steering wheel can be replaced when advanced autonomous driving becomes commonplace. To this end, a survey on steering wheelless cars was conducted to explore the feasibility of autonomous vehicles without the steering wheel. As a result, the operational data of Waymo and Apollo, two Robotaxi (a self-driving car operated by a ridesharing company) companies in the United States and China, is analyzed. The results show that at this stage, autonomous driving cannot fully control the car, and the driver still needs to take over the vehicle in complex situations. Of course, according to the data, Miles per Intervention (MPI) is gradually rising and is expected to reach a reasonable expectation, so steering wheelless cars still have a certain feasibility in the future.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
