Countdown until we learn that Waymo is similar to those Amazon stores where the self-driving cars are actually controlled by offices full of people who are playing a variation of Mario Kart in order to get us to our destinations.

@Alice Having ridden waymo a few times:
1.) It is waaaay smoother than a human driver and stays exactly (surreally) in the middle of the lane, even on a left turn.
2.) It did not know not to block the entrance to the valet parking at the concert hall, requiring us to cover our faces as we sprinted away from the vehicle

@bransonturner Yeah, I had a good experience with Waymo and definitely appreciated not having a driver trying to make smalltalk, but the dumb car did stop in a right turn lane to pick us up which was kind of awkward as we were getting in, knowing we were holding up everyone else who was trying to turn.
