Taylor LorenzA crowd destroyed a driverless Waymo car in San Francisco https://www.theverge.com/2024/2/11/24069251/waymo-driverless-taxi-fire-vandalized-video-san-francisco-china-town
Forrest Tanaka@taylorlorenz I hope no mob arbitrarily decides that *my* car or home needs to be burned, because destruction of private property is apparently justified to many.
Hue StL@forresttanaka Is your home driving over pedestrians?
@HueSatLight I see nothing in this article saying the car drove over pedestrians.
@forresttanaka I don't know why you're playing dumb.
PointlessSpike@forresttanaka It's not arbitrary. People don't randomly decide to do violence (most of the time, anyway). They had to feel very, very strongly that this was a bad thing. Random people, in the street, unified in feeling that. This car symbolised something that they fiercely oppose. We need to understand that, not just shake our heads and tut.
