Moving a car on public streets is a matter of law even if the car is interpreting moderately high level directions like make a U turn here.
Especially as the car is already having issues when they takeover.

- verdverm 9mo agoThey aren't moving the car, they are answering customer calls and clicking waypoints on a map to unstuck the car when it phones home "I'm confused" It's click bait for people's priors
- catmanjan 9mo agoIf someone from the Phillipines clicks waypoints for a drone in Ukraine, is it a warcrime?
- circuit10 9mo agoI would assume that unsticking it requires forcing it to do maneuvers that it would otherwise refuse to do (or it would just unstick itself), so you'd need some knowledge of laws to do that
- Retric 9mo agoThose waypoints have legal implications. It’s often illegal to make a U-Turn to avoid a police checkpoint for example. There’s no way someone can unstick a confused car without being able to make legally relevant choices.
- dekhn 9mo agoIn California (and I think most places) it's not illegal to make a (legal) U-turn to avoid a police checkpoint or otherwise avoid a checkpoint.
- Retric 9mo agoWaymo is operating in many locations outside of California such as Florida and Texas, and it intends to expand to many more states.
- dekhn 9mo agoIt is also legal to u-turn before a police checkpoint in Florida and Texas. In fact I think it's true to say that you can do this in any state.
- Retric 9mo agoIf you see a checkpoint at sufficient distance to make a legal u turn before interacting with the police yes. If a police officer is pointing at your car because they are going to search you no.
- dekhn 9mo agoSo? You made a series of factually incorrect statements which I have debunked based on trivially determined facts.
- Retric 9mo agoSo I realized you misunderstood what I said. For example, I said they operate in Texas as you called out California as your example. Texas doesn’t allow sobriety checkpoints but it’s an entirely new states worth of legal issues here.
