x00zI see nobody talking about this, but aren’t the Waymo(s) trained on data which most likely did not include these robots yet?
It seems like this is just something that’ll probably happen a lot whenever something new is introduced on the roads.
BritishJWell, they should try to avoid any object in the road to be honest. Imagine a new toy comes out that a child is on. Sorry we killed that child l, we didn’t train it on that new toy.
Its just an unacceptable answer to be honest.
That is also very true.
It’s not a Tesla so I’m sure they are investigating the cause.
The Waymo did exactly what it was supposed to do. The robot ran a red light (really a don’t walk through crosswalk) and unexpectedly stopped around a corner before exiting the road as it would normally do. The Waymo spotted it and breaked and got down to about 4 mph. Then the robot drove away and nothing was really damaged so no one is talking about it. All of that information was in the article, but the the titile is ragebait to point anger at self driving cars, it’s easy to tell because we don’t even know the name of the delivery robot or what company it was working for…
“Delivery robot causes car accident.” would be a more accurate title.
