current status of dinner - #waymo drove off with 3 bags of ingredients in the trunk before I could hit the open trunk button. Turns out they can’t drive car back, they can at best return car to depot so now driving across San Francisco to retrieve groceries. #autonomousvehicles. Can see the headlines tomorrow „after blocking intersections, Waymo now stealing groceries from customers“

Guida da automa... #Waymo sospende i robotaxi a causa del #blackout di San Francisco: le auto si sono fermavano ai semafori spenti bloccando gli incroci.

I video girati in tutta la città mostrano i robotaxi bloccati o che bloccano gli incroci, aggravando il traffico. Le interruzioni di corrente hanno anche spento i semafori, aggravando il caos.

I love how a woman had to give birth alone in a #Waymo and the media somehow spins it as happy news about our #dystopian society.

Apparently those Waymos can't avoid small animals. After killing a cat, one ran over a dog.

Also, they have learned passive voice from the police departments:

"Unfortunately, a Waymo vehicle made contact with a small, unleashed dog in the roadway. "

"If Waymo’s results are indicative of the broader future of autonomous vehicles, we may be on the path to eliminating traffic deaths as a leading cause of mortality in the United States. While many see this as a tech story, I view it as a public health breakthrough."

Aside: When do we get to start writing "lidar" like we do with "sonar" and "radar"?
