Selbstfahrende #waymo Autos? Am Arsch! Die Fahrer sitzen in den Philippinen. Vielleicht kommt irgendwann auch noch heraus, dass nicht wenige Chatbots in Wirklichkeit Menschen in Billiglohnländern sind. Immerhin werden so bereits die LLMs gefüllt. Was wird nicht alles gemacht, um Aktionäre und sonstige Geld-Hehler gnädig zu stimmen. Die Realität ist absurder als die schrägste Fiktion. via @davidgerard

AZ Family (video); Waymo passenger flees after car drives on Phoenix light rail tracks

"Published: Jan. 8, 2026 at 2:41 PM PST

PHOENIX (AZFamily) — A Waymo was caught on camera driving down Phoenix light rail tracks this week, forcing a passenger to flee the car before it continued along the tracks near an oncoming train.

Video taken by a bystander near Central and Southern avenues shows the moment the self-driving car stops on the tracks just before an oncoming light rail approaches. The passenger runs out of the vehicle before the car continues to drive down the tracks near another train."
