even this reply is framing it like it sounds ridiculous. I'm not sure if this stop sign incident is the best example, but look into all the reports of the waymo vehicle causing road rage due to its "safety-first" driving.
- acdha 5y agoSee also regular driving. The solution for road rage is taking away bad drivers’ licenses, not saying everyone should drive like them. If the police refuse to do their jobs, that problem isn’t one Waymo can solve.
- gmadsen 5y agoagain, you are removing all nuance. It is not an issue of "bad drivers", it is an issue of local driving norms. If every single driver is doing something, it is not an issue of removing bad drivers. if you are driving under 70 mph on the 101 at 6:00am , you are endangering yourself and those around you.
- acdha 5y agoThis thread is about stop signs. That’s a common way for pedestrians and bicyclists to get hit when drivers ignore a safety mechanism because it’s mixing transportation modes, unlike someone going modestly over the speed limit on a controlled highway where everyone else is also in a protective steel cage with various safety mechanisms.
- gmadsen 5y agoThe article is about stop signs. My point and this discussion are about it is not just, "always follow traffic laws exactly, at all times."
