so, waymo doesn't trust their code to really be automous like they claim, nor do they have the human staff to take any form of significant disaster or outage when their code fails to be autonomous.

great... can't wait until they're in DEN during some major snow storm. actually, i *could* wait. for years.

well done, waymo.

@lauren ...it has seem from the birth of the idea of driverless vehicles that is was a really, really stupid idea, fraught with nearly limitless dangers to humans nearby, whether in another vehicle, walking, standing, pccupying space in ground floor shop/cafe/etc. But beyond being stupid....why do it? What is it saving? What is it enhancing? For any positives, just feels like the negatives overwhelm them. Happy to be educated otherwise, of course....

Like I said in reaction to the massive traffic jams, they caused during the blackout and ones that they’ve caused before as well. Every vehicle that interfered with the flow of traffic needs to be impounded.. I don’t know if these vehicles can handle down signal light autonomously, although stop sign rules apply.

They still hate them. It’s like the day after the blackout I saw one roll through a stop sign only halting when it was halfway through in the intersection
