Why it moved the index

Multiple empty-driver-seat vehicles navigating real public roads materially advanced consequential physical autonomy beyond supervised driving from the driver's position. A passenger-seat stop control and bounded test area limit magnitude; Motional's primary account, independent review, and exact-time reporting support high confidence.
