I think my autonomavertigo would prevent me from ever taking a Waymo.
Autonomavertigo (noun):
The disorienting fear or anxiety experienced when surrendering control to autonomous systems, especially self-driving vehicles. Often accompanied by phantom brake-pumping and suspicious glances at the dashboard.
- browningstreet 1y agoThere's none of this in a Waymo, and the phantom braking is reduced but still present in FSD Teslas... and yes, it's anger-inducing.
- astrange 1y agoA Waymo did take me full speed through a pothole in LA recently. That was unpleasant.
- nashashmi 1y agoTake a friend and watch them in awe and wonder. That will be your icebreaker. Otherwise, just remember this not completely autonomous. Some technician is troubleshooting behind the computer screen.

- taylodl 1y agoFixed track, few degrees of freedom
