- proudestmonkey 2y agoLooks like they’re going at this one alone - don’t see any mention of Uber partnership
- arusahni 2y agoI'll be curious to see how these handle the gridlock caused by motorcades.
- _mlbt 2y agoD.C. has plenty of gridlock even without the motorcades. It is one of the worst cities I’ve ever had the misfortune of driving in. Not enough street parking, expensive parking garages, flex lanes that change direction depending on the time of day, and one way streets that don’t alternate traffic direction in any conceivable pattern. If you go there do yourself a favor and just take the metro.
- acdha 2y agoStreet parking causes much of the traffic because people double or triple park or drive around endlessly trying to find a subsidized spot. The problem DC has is simply that too many people are trying to go to the same places, and there just isn’t that much room for cars, especially with the limited river crossing points and reserved federal space.
- drivingmenuts 2y agoSounds like Waymo will fit right in, then. We just got them in Austin. God help us all.
- jinushaun 2y agoWow. DC is a challenge to drive as a human, nevermind as a robot.
