Those 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.
