Well, 26000 people could have walked out of Paradise, but it would have been a lot worse.

  People walk about 3 miles per hour which is faster than wildfires advance and noticeably faster than panicked people driving cars in gridlock. Camp fire was another time where many of the dead were found in their cars. Maybe we should discuss whether the state of California should permit the development of dispersed towns where it's literally impossible for everyone to get up and leave, but it's probably neither here nor there with respect to Waymo. I would expect ten thousand Waymos to be able to get out of town in a relatively orderly and timely fashion, while ten thousand meat-driven cars in the same place and time is almost always an epic cock-up.

    Until the cell signal goes black because of the same fire and they all die in their waymos. Considering you call people "meat" I think this conversation is over.
