This is the stupid shit I get instead of actual public transport and infrastructure. What a dumb timeline.

Big Insurance is playing both sides
If this was an Onion article, the headline would have been "Waymo cars will now go through each hit pedestrian multiple times".
In a "Our cars are faster" move?
These include illegal U-turns, aggressive lane switching, rolling through cross walks, and running red lights.
They like fines?
They will never make it into Europe this way.
Good thing.
Yikes. I was just in SF for work. One of the things I liked best about wayno as a pedestrian is that you could confidently step out into the road in front of them and they would always slam their breaks so hard it never hit you, and the occupants would be all pissed about it
Risking your life to inconvenience other people is a weird form of fun I must say.
@tonytins@pawb.social a bit sensational way to frame this. There's no evidence that the cited examples in the original article are a result of the changes or that they're necessarily making changes that would make the Waymo Driver less safe.
There's that potential and the mentioned real problems are worth some attention regardless but some of these changes sound like they're motivated by just addressing situations where Waymo is unable to make the decisions any safe driver would because there are conflicting rules to follow for example..
Been waiting for this day since I was 14 😏
Just run over that pupil around the corner
This is the weirdest way to say this. What a weird bot.
Looking at their comment history, I don't think this is a bot. Just looks like someone with a tenuous grasp on English.
Yeah probably using a bot to translate comments
