What Should Robotaxis Prove Before Returning to Freeways?

Freeway speed leaves almost no room for a robotaxi to be confused by one cone. Waymo is gradually restoring freeway rides after 13 construction-zone incidents. The NHTSA filing says six vehicles drove past ramp-closure signs in Phoenix and seven entered active construction lanes in the Bay Area. The fix improves construction-zone recognition, slows the car when it may be in one, and adds more remote help. That is better than a vague “software update,” but the restart still needs a public scorecard. Show each construction-zone encounter, speed at first detection, route change, remote-help call, and any travel past a closure. Separate planned work from a lane that changes mid-shift. Riders should know why the car skipped the freeway. Road crews need proof before it reaches them. What would you publish during a gradual robotaxi freeway restart?
