There’s a sign in the middle of the street instead of off on the side. Wouldn't be surprised at all if they're deliberately trying to give the cars more experience recognizing and responding to this situation.
- xiphias2 5y agoYou can see a dead end sign actually if you go back to the crossing, it looks like Waymo cars don’t recognise it.
- raldi 5y agoGoogle is aware that it's a dead end: https://www.google.com/maps/dir/37.7855646,-122.4743446/37.7882646,-122.4746696/@37.7883098,-122.4758098,16.51z/data=!4m2!4m1!3e0 https://www.google.com/maps/dir/37.7855646,-122.4743446/37.7... The application of Occam's Razor that feels to me like the simplest explanation here is that Google is sending the cars into this dead end on purpose, and the unusual sign in the middle of the road seems like an obvious reason they may be doing it.
