But important work remains to continue to build trust and acceptance of this transformational technology. At Waymo, where I'm Chief Safety Officer, ensuring that the public has an accurate perception of the technology is a top priority.

But we also know that many people don't fully understand how ADVs work, and that people fear what they don't understand. Dr. Mauricio Pena is the chief safety officer of Waymo, where he oversees all of Waymo's safety efforts and teams, including system safety, field safety, fleet operations safety and safety research.
