    As a former first responder, humans are sometimes just as bad about yielding to emergency traffic.

    This is one area that I’m fully onboard with the tech overlords. I get that issues will come up. Let’s get them fixed and hopefully I’ll be able to enjoy not having to drive for the last couple decades of life.

    I felt 10x safer in Waymos than Uber/Lyft…though it did freeze up on me once when trying to drop off and people behind me were honking like wtf do you want me to do here

  4. They are getting worse. They don’t keep up with traffic and frequently signal to turn, slow down, slow traffic behind them – and then continue straight, not turning – and starting a chain reaction of brake lights.

    These are slowly making their appearance in my city and I pretty vehemently do not want them there on the basis that they simply refuse to honour traffic rules correctly. I do not trust the American tech sector not to just ignore our local laws and force themselves into our country, and use their grotesque amount of capital to shrug off the legal fines that come with blatantly violating our law.

    Given they recently got in a kerfuffle over the fact that they’re able to acknowledge bike lanes but refuse to honour them, which to me just reads like an inevitable injury/death when one of these machines ploughs through a bike lane to save time. Given they’re already flagging in their home territory I sure as shit do not want them on my streets, especially given how much AI is a screen for removing accountability.

    I rode in one two weeks ago. It decided to do a couple of complete u-turns as if it was lost, which is strange because on the map we were basically going in a straight line.

  7. And they will. Prety soon they will clog the streets and then make getting around for regular drivers and first responders unbearable. However, the will continue because they are money makers.

  8. Like everything else „AI“ lately. Start with the best possible model and take a loss, then try to minimize cost by making it dumber. Oh, and probably getting cheaper labor from the Philippines.

    I read somewhere that waymo’s are actually driven by somebody in the Philippines or India

    And society looks at the professionals who don’t make enough money to matter and move on with the investments instead. Just like data centers too.

    Oh no this sub will not like this news. The lidar gang had decreed back in 2012 that Lidar is the lord and savior of autonomy.

    Edit: Phillipino driver gang not cut out for the task or they were driving until now and were recently removed so cars showing their true capabilities
