  9. Our simulation approach is extraordinarily powerful and robust, and it's uniquely enriched by the 20+ million miles of data-rich, safe real-world driving we've completed.

  10. For that, you need millions of miles of real-world driving experience, across a wide variety of weather, road & traffic conditions, to inform the simulation scenarios that challenge & continuously improve our Waymo Driver through billions of miles of virtual driving.

  11. FAQ: "Which is more important in the development of the Waymo Driver: real-world driving experience or simulation?" Well it turns out it's not actually an "or" construct -- but rather an "and" imperative -- when you're building the world's most experienced driver.
