Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?
In the citing paper
“If the vehicle then requires them to take control quickly when circumstances exceed the capacity of the driving software to manage them safely, the human supervisor is unlikely to be able to do so effectively”
From When human beings are like drunk robots: Driverless vehicles, ethics, and the future of transport (2017) · cites this paper as Shladover, 2016
In the citing paper
“As long as driverless vehicles aren't safer than human drivers, it will be unethical to sell them”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
