I meant that the Waymo didn't see it, neither did the passengers, so the cat could've been difficult to detect.

“While our vehicle was stopped to pick up passengers, a nearby cat darted under our vehicle as it was pulling away”

I mean, it sucks, but it could've happened with a human driver as well... and likely has happened.

I have rode in a Waymo and it shows you all the things it detects on a screen... which includes humans and small animals. It's not a perfect machine, but it probably is a better driver than a lot of people already and it's learning every day.

I suppose this incident could get Waymo to put cameras/sensors beneath the car... something that regular car makers won't think about.

But yeah, it should've detected the cat beforehand and waited for it to leave before driving off. Then again, the human passengers didn't see it either.

It means that voting still matters. Even if intimidation, lying, and fear tactics from the other side steal some votes away... we can still win next November, and hopefully, November 2028.

Oh, I'm sure my wife will love the combination of two games that I played way too much.

Mine is over that. They won't.

EDIT: Meaning they won't stop asking.

You may have misunderstood my last comment. I don't think Newsom is progressive by any means. I always vote for the progressive candidates in the primary. And in the general, I'll vote Democrat and whatever progressive propositions.

I just don't think Kamala can win because people are sexist/racist... and she is pretty much the same moderate vision.

Okay, well you can vote for Vance then.

I understand what he is.

But compared to the shit show we have now... unless we get a progressive in there, what other choice do we have? Not voting? Going third party so that Repugs win again?
