I've taken hundreds of Waymo rides in SF, LA and Phoenix and the car only needed assistance one time when it got stuck in the middle of a protest.

- dingnuts 2y agoI just have to call out how absolutely absurd this statement is as an example of a lived West Coast USA stereotype. Of course, the self-driving car produced by silicon valley meets its natural predator in the wild of California -- a protest! Hysterical. You can't make this stuff up. Absolutely fantastic example of life being better than fiction.

- panarky 2y agoIn my experience Waymo cars handle all sorts of unmapped and unpredictable situations very well. New construction sites, merging lane closures, detours, accidents, road signs that have been defaced or knocked down, malfunctioning signal lights, jaywalkers, bike riders running red lights, delivery trucks blocking lanes, double-parked cars, even missing manhole covers, debris in the roadway, etc.
