This is helpful context. I was going to apply without thinking about data fluency at all. Need to actually prep this now.

What did the latency analysis question actually ask? Like, given two groups of latency data, design an experiment?

Something like that. They gave me two experiment groups of simulation data and asked me to design a test to compare planning module performance. AV domain context was everywhere and I couldn't keep up.

The data fluency round is the least-documented part of any interview process I've seen. Almost nothing online about it.
