I see them all over LA metro area. I was stopped at a light and counted 5-6 of them within my range of vision. Two of them where right behind each other as they drove by the other direction in the first pic.

That would make me extremely uncomfortable
to be driving around them...

They go down my mom’s narrow street that has cars parked on both side. You have to slow down for two cars to pass. So much so that parked cars have their mirrors flipped in.

I get very nervous when I see Waymo’s without driver go by on that street…. But they do it daily.

Was in my friends new Tesla the other day. Sweet car .... stupid fast acceleration. He talked me into trying the self driving feature. Pretty impressive but still a no go for me. Within 2 minutes it tried an illegal left turn into a local train station (tried to go in the out door) cutting off a pickup coming the opposite direction. Good thing it was a controlled intersection or who knows?!
No thanks!

I guess we're supposed to believe that a software engineer can foresee and predict every possible thing the car might encounter during it's lifetime and take appropriate action in every case. Airplanes have had autopilot systems for more than thirty years. They still make mistakes based on sensor errors and unpredicted circumstances.

Are they're potentially Way Mo problems than having a human driver?

Sounded like a grocery store. Bring way mo money.

As a former plaintiff's lawyer, I've been watching this stuff with curiosity, wondering when it will finally hit the wall, figuratively, as well as literally.

Cars that are dangerous and cost Way Mo than they should.

Cars that are dangerous and cost Way Mo than they should.

... plus, another tool to restrict freedom, and implement control.

For people too stupid and lazy to drive themselves.Sometimes i feel there is no hope if this is what some people think they want.

Couldn't agree more.... Since I got my license I've always enjoyed driving, look forward to it... Rarely want to let someone else drive me... Trust a driverless car??? Oh Hell No!!!! Are you insane????

 

[Runcharger]

Exactly. Driving is one of the greatest parts of freedom I enjoy.

Stupid question: If one of these contraptions is pulled over for a bonafide traffic infraction, who gets the ticket? The CEO of the company that produced it, some software engineer, or the people in the back seat?

Which begs another question: If a driver's license is required to pilot a vehicle on a public roadway, who (or what?) is the license holder for this vehicle?

Inquiring minds want to know!

Simple, self-driving car gets a ticket, "pull the plug."
