Having seen these putting around the Inner Richmond at night and now visiting NYC and witnessing the chaos that is driving here, i'm not sure they're quite ready to handle this level of a problem.
NYC would require a true level 5 autonomous vehicle and i'm not sure it's even possible to drive 100% legally at all times given variables like construction, pedestrians going the wrong way on one-ways on scooters, et al.
I hope they can figure it out and wish them good luck!
- convolvatron 5y agoyou know that thing where drivers see a bicyclist and just shut down because they are afraid they are going to dart out in front of them (not arguing with the instinct, bicyclists are pretty bad) I ride near the waymo depot on the way to work. they always don't know what to do about me and pretty much just stop in confusion until I'm well clear. forget about construction. I just cant imagine what they would do in an actual urban environment. this whole thing just feels like a deeply misplaced marketing excersise right now.
