Good thing humans never ran over a beloved pet :)
Jk, I think my family alone had about 5 animals die to humans driving cars. (Very rural area with a mostly quiet road. A number of these were stray cats, can’t really control where they go.)
“Kill a Waymo! Save a cat“ Kill a human save a cat? The outrage is misdirected

- AlotOfReading 1y agoIncredibly, you're underestimating the computational power of both autonomous vehicles and human brains. A modern smartphone is more than 2000x the Apollo Guidance computer. A Waymo is significantly more powerful than that. A human brain is tens of trillions of times more powerful than the AGC, assuming somewhat low estimates.
- lm28469 1y agoUnless your head can spin 360 degrees at 1000hz it doesn't matter if your brain is "more powerful" in some abstract measure
- ricardobeat 1y agoHow does that help seeing under the chassis/wheels? That extra power might mean seeing something move in your peripheral vision, intuit that it might be a cat, predict its path in space, and that it may have put itself under the car because that’s something cats usually do. The LiDar achieves nothing compared to this.
