Define -
1. Several.
2. Not working.
Disc: Googler but I don't know if that's necessary since I don't work at Waymo.

- what_ever 5y agoDoesn't seem several or approach not working to me. The YouTuber who recorded that video has taken over 50 rides. One of them didn't go as intended (didn't cause an accident) but I won't call that as Waymo's approach not working.
- p1esk 5y agoThese rides are in ideal conditions: perfect visibility, excellent roads, a city designed for cars, and well-behaved drivers. Waymo has worked on self-driving for 12 years now, and threw smartest people in the world and billions of dollars at the problem. Yet they still having problems with simple situations like going around orange cones on the road. Self-driving will arrive eventually, but don't hold your breath.
