Like it or not, Autonomous vehicles are one part of the system. Even before the December blackouts, autonomous vehicles demonstrated some operation challenges, including incidents where they have delayed emergency responders, blocked traffic, and created safety hazards for pedestrians and other vehicles.”
“Voice identified” counts the meetings where we could attribute a member’s voice. A meeting missing there means we couldn’t attribute it, not that they were absent.
