The Waymo car squished the dog's head like a pimple, killing it.
This is somewhat obvious, but 25 MPH in a city scenario is way too fast. From a robot car in beta, experimenting on live animals, it's way way too fast.
20 MPH (~30 kph) is what they use in europe - that sounds better for city speed limits.
Robot cars in beta should not be allowed to move more than 2 mph in the city.
If they can prove they are safe -- if -- they maybe we can let them start to move a bit faster.
The reason that humans are allowed to drive and maim and terrorize and kill in the city is not a valid reason to allow robots to do the same -- we should disallow humans from doing it as well.
And we should start but putting governors on all cars and have them auto-obey speed limits.
