LAPD Publishes Crime Footage It Got From a Waymo Driverless Car

Police are starting to realize they can demand footage from driverless cars.

@dangillmor One step away from Cory Doctorow's (@pluralistic) scenario where driverless cars are taken over and used for crowd "control".

To anyone protesting in LA, remember that those Waymo cars cost millions each. You definitely do not want to burn more of them, as enough property damage like that could cause the company to go out of business.

@dangillmor
I wouldn't be surprised to see Waymo Driverless Cars start getting gasoline and and a match dumped over them. Letting LAPD get access to your video is not a great public relations polcy.
@dangillmor We 100% need to boycott autonomous vehicle companies indefinitely. >:(
