Waymo erklärt, warum seine Robotaxis während eines Stromausfalls die Straßen von San Francisco verstopfte

> The Waymo „may occasionally request a confirmation check“ when it encounters dark traffic signals to „ensure it makes the safest choice,“ the statement said.

I learned how to handle blackouts while driving when I was fourteen years old.

So, not only can AI not replace taxi drivers, but it can’t replace teenage drivers either.

(Edit: the correct procedure is to always burn your headlights and treat intersections with dead traffic lights as a 4-way intersection.)

There is def a coordinated media push to discredit waymo, and the stats just dont justify peoples complaints. Have you guys ever driven with humans during a power outage because they suck ass too.

In gainesville florida, they were absolutely fucking dangerous as fuck with the power outages. People just blowing through the out lights because florida doesn’t have a four stop rule. They have a main street right away rule, and out of towners do not know. It was the most dangerous thing I’ve ever seen. People are statistically just so much more dangerous.

Yes, people got stuck. It was silly and a waste of time, but it was a fixable issue compared to the amount of vehicular deaths caused by humans and something i would absolutely rather deal with.

Because they’re shit.

Yeah right. Ive worked in tech for a while. It was because they only care about making money and never considered failesafes.

We don’t care why.
