Maybe we shouldn't put the whole burden of world justice on Waymo, this allowing it a complete invasion of the privacy of both the people who use it and those who don't? Guy takes a drugged up girl on the train, should we hold the train responsible for the outcome also?
- jplona 20d agoI think the risks are different on a train, which is far more public than the inside of a taxi. There are more likely to be other people and/or an operator to intervene.
- anon84873628 20d agoAre you aware of BART Police or MTA Police? All trains have conductors who monitor passenger behavior and enforce rules/laws.
- handwarmers 20d agoYes? I am pretty sure they don't do algorithmic policing. Fwiw, they probably don't do any policing, but that is a different subject. I am not against monitoring for safety - I am against deploying a sophisticated network of automated monitoring that covers all digital and soon physical aspects of my life for my "safety" by for profit companies.
- diydsp 20d agoThat's the key question: whose laws are Waymo enforcing? ICE and Flock's extra-constitutional policies? City ordinances? A future eco-radical government's laws? How about things taking place outside the car? Can Waymo mount a robotic machine gun next to the LIDAR and snipe suspected terrorists? Release tear gas? Self destruct, killing several nuns to protect s CEO? Btw ghost guns are not all instantly illegal.
- smelendez 20d agoI don’t think a train conductor would normally intervene if they saw someone escorting an intoxicated person. Unfortunately taking someone somewhere to rob or assault them doesn’t look that different from taking a drunk friend to a safe place.
- coderintherye 20d agoPublic trains are covered in camera surveillance and that footage is very often used in conjunction with tracking down and prosecuting criminals. You should have no expectation of privacy on a public train.
- Cider9986 20d agoI agree we should also add live facial recognition to train stations. No expectation of privacy in public does not mean we should eliminate privacy from public areas or allow our government to engage in mass surveillance.
