Waymo cannot recognize threats and drive away from them. Instead it stops indefinitely to let people harass you all they want.

- redeux 2y agoThieves recognize an easy mark in Waymo cars, paralyzing them. Police dispatch autonomous drones to address the situation. The drones, unable to identify which is the threat, decide to destroy both the people surrounding the car and the car. Is this not the future you want?
- moralestapia 2y agoIf we are fair, this isn't a problem with Waymo ...
- fragmede 2y agoA human driver, especially one that owned the car, can gauge the threat and drive off if they're being carjacked, even if it physically endangers someone outside the car. The autonomous vehicle is timidly not going to run someone over, even if they're threatening the vehicle. The other thing is the Waymo will just let you off where it thinks is good and not right in front of the address you selected, even if it's a sketchy neighborhood. Still, especially if it's late night, I'd rather send a woman home in a Waymo than a Uber/Lyft, after one of my friends was assaulted by one of their drivers. That's not possible in a Waymo.
- moralestapia 2y agoI really cannot parse if you're for/against Waymo, lol.
- fragmede 2y agoHaha why do I have to be for/against Waymo like it's a sports team and blindly cheer for the local one? It's a technology with good and bad things about it
