Seeing as how literally nobody died, I'm not sure if I agree with your sentiment. I was curious if Waymo has even been involved with a crash that killed someone, so I looked it up. The answer is yes - there was a Tesla going 98mph in S

Unless a few Waymos have gridlocked traffic, I'm not sure you can still blame them for this.

> We’re lucky it’s not a disaster. I'm sure that if this was something predictable like a cyclone or wildfire, Waymo would still have 100% of their nightly traffic on the road, right? And SFFD would not be able to do what they norma

In this country, if heart disease or cancer doesn't kill you, a car probably did. Until "Waymos lessons" are killing people at that rate, I am 100% OK with a Waymo making my trips an extra 5 minutes longer every 50th trip or

Citation needed for that. Waymo uses both LIDAR and RADAR to collect precise data on distance and speed. If it's foggy (commonly the case in SF) those two let the service continue with no interruptions. A Tesla in those conditions wou

For Tesla!? It's because Musk is a combination of stubborn and cheap. That's it - he wants to collect FSD subscriptions or that $10k purchase price without spending any extra money. Perhaps he can figure it out. It won't be

This is a crazy take. Google has lots of money to hire lawyers, but that also means that Google has lots of money to pay out settlements. It's worth it to sue them because they have something to take. Getting richer has never made so

I don't think you can just say diesel is less popular in the US without bringing up the emissions scandals. It genuinely seems to me like companies can't deliver clean emissions and efficiency gains at the same time for it.

Fair enough, but keep in mind that many Americans are just not wealthy enough for a lot of advertised products; a luxury car ad, for example, is mostly useless if it's shown to people making < $60k a year. This demographic is inhere

If they're half as likely to convert but four times wealthier, does it matter?

Reasonable human beings can put a value on being able to sleep at night while still trying to make a profit. It's insane to suggest otherwise.

These people will gladly watch human driven cars continue to run over children as long as Google doesn't get to make any money. Last year, in SF, an old woman driving a big SUV took out an entire family of four that was WAITING AT A BU

But it is served by putting 18 year olds behind the wheels of cars and giving them free rein? It is served when the state runs anti-DUI ads and puts up billboards reminding people to sleep when they they're tired? It's served when

The amount of flying that people do is not constant; if lots of airplanes fall out of the sky and explode in fiery wrecks, people will fly less. In this case, "lots" is "anything more than once a month" because footage o
