Did NYT not reach out to you for comment? Curious why your reply is here instead of within the article itself.

If I was in a position to choose, I think I'd speak directly to engineers, too.

Word of mouth via tech influencers is far more important than you're giving credit.

I'm not really sure what you mean there, but I do know that companies are happy to make unsubstantiated claims. One way news organizations deal with this reality is by interviewing the company and questioning them when things are not clear. Personally I find it likelier that Cruise has things to hide if they don't want to answer interview questions, but I guess that's just me.
