I encourage you to watch a video of a current Waymo ride in Phoenix. In one ride I watched, the very first turn it made out of a parking lot should have been a left turn, but it turned right instead and went through residential streets to get back in the right direction.
It is nice that they have deployed to the public, but I doubt anyone capable of driving themselves will use it any time soon if it can't even make left turns.
- erikgaas 6y agoI took a waymo in Chandler that had no safety driver and it was able to make unprotected left turns just fine.
- joefourier 6y agoI don't understand what you're saying. Obviously the cars are capable of turning left. Are you saying it took a longer route when there was a shorter path to leave the parking lot? I don't know what video you're referring to (there's quite a few), but that seems to concern the high-level path planning, not any driving capabilities (e.g. a human following GPS instructions might have chosen the same route). Or perhaps the navigation planning system prefers to drive through lower traffic residential areas.
