| While second to Waymo, they still seemed already far ahead from others; maybe they were, say, 90% there.
That is a strong claim. As someone who watched them drive around their neighborhood, you could easily tell Cruise was the worse driver compared to Waymo. When the 2023 incident occured, I was not surprised at all. They had difficulties with even the most basic of intersections. Waymo on the other hand has a much more natural driving style. Waymo has its issues, but not like Cruise. It drove like it was 15 and still in Driver's Ed.

In case it's still not clear with the "while second to Waymo" phrase: "others" refers to contenders other than Waymo.
