You say all this, yet waymo is demonstrably safer than the average driver. Uphill in snow maybe you’ll have to take the wheel, I’ll give you that.

- Tor3 3y agoWaymo hasn't tried driving outside its comfort zone, so I'll argue that it's not demonstrated.
- pb7 3y agoHumans should also abstain from driving outside of their comfort zones.
- edgyquant 3y agoRegardless, they don’t and do mostly fine
- google234123 3y agoHave you driven in SF?
- Tor3 3y agoNo, never been to SF, I have no idea how people drive there or what the conditions are. Except that they're very different from where I drive (except when I'm in the town centre) - roads without sidewalks, mostly no signal lights, snow a large part of the year, and other special conditions.
- pie420 3y agoGood thing that all airports follow similar standards and are all standardized in terms of lighting, signage, etc.
- tjohns 3y agoThat is not quite accurate. There are certainly standards for airport markings, but there are many non-standard airports... especially when flying at anything smaller than an international airport. (And yes, even airliners will sometimes land at small regional airports.)
- kergonath 3y agoMate, have you driven in Mumbai? Hell, even in Rome? SF is nothing.
- konschubert 3y agoSo clearly self driving cars are completely useless because they cannot handle Mumbai traffic.
- edgyquant 3y agoHow has this been demonstrated? They have certainly had their share of crashes already.
- konschubert 3y agoYes https://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/2309/2309.01206.pdf https://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/2309/2309.01206.pdf
