@[email protected] @[email protected] well that’s still Waymo’s argument I think. Elon is a bit different in many ways…

@[email protected] a bit sensational way to frame this. There’s no evidence that the cited examples in the original article are a result of the changes or that they’re necessarily making changes that would make the Waymo Driver less safe.

There’s that potential and the mentioned real problems are worth some attention regardless but some of these changes sound like they’re motivated by just addressing situations where Waymo is unable to make the decisions any safe driver would because there are conflicting rules to follow for example…

@[email protected] There isn’t a problem that could not be solved by legislation here. The police is already able to give tickets to self-driving cars in some states. You can certainly argue that the megacorps aren’t inclined to care when the amount of money involved is tiny but then again that problem exists in most places just as much when it comes to fining rich people. You could always up the amounts if the politicians are willing to do that.

The more consequential thing that can already be done currently is grounding the entire fleet if there’s a good reason for that so it’s not like officials are completely helpless.

@[email protected] @[email protected] it would certainly be good for it to be relatively affordable but they’re really not promising it will at the moment since they only said aiming it to be cheaper than an Index.
