AI doesn't replace programmers, it's used by programmers for efficiency.
Waymo is most definitely not being used by taxi or rideshare drivers to be more efficient.
- lotsofpulp 11mo agoAs I understand, Waymo still uses humans in some circumstances. Theoretically, the drivers could do this job instead. https://waymo.com/blog/2024/05/fleet-response/ https://waymo.com/blog/2024/05/fleet-response/
- JeremyNT 11mo agoWaymo definitely uses human drivers in some markets... currently Just like AI still uses human programmers... currently
- sentientslug 11mo agoSorry, what? Waymo does not use human drivers for passenger trips, unless you’re referring to training drives (with no passenger). Edit: I think I get what you mean now, you mean when humans have to remotely intervene for whatever reason and pilot the car
- dqh 11mo agoIf a programmer is more efficient with AI then you need fewer programmers, assuming a fixed amount of work is needed. So in that sense AI would be replacing programmers.
- PlunderBunny 11mo agoI've never worked at a company that would choose to have less programmers instead of choosing to do more work. I guess such companies exist though.
