@stefan@stefanbohacek.online see, the disconnect here isn't that Waymos rely on human input... it's the fact that they're marketing the service as completely autonomous.
If they were honest, nobody would've cared... but it also wouldn't have sounded as cool.
@julian True, but I am also looking at the aspect of outsourcing labor to countries where it's cheaper.
Same with data labeling, etc.
Just saw this the other day, CW for mentions of the worst of humanity.
