Nah - this happened yesterday (the day before your post). It's unusual for media to be allowed inside autonomous cars, and the conditions are usually controlled. The conditions in this demo were fairly loose (difficult public streets in San Francisco) and also involved relatively little intervention by safety drivers. (Uber did a demo in SF once but it involved very frequent human takeovers. Alternatively, Waymo had a recent demo on a closed course (I think the one at Castle airforce base) and others in Arizona suburbs where conditions are less challenging.)

Fwiw as a human driver I find driving in San Francisco to be pretty challenging/stressful.
