This is your city on driverless cars.
A blackout in San Francisco yesterday cut power to traffic lights. Drivers coped; Waymos just stopped moving, often in intersections, stranding passengers and compounding gridlock.

The fact that driverless cars kill + injure fewer people than conventional cars is a genuine plus.
It doesn't outweigh minus of private companies flooding public streets with constantly cruising vehicles that periodically cause gridlock, chaos.
Here's one Waymo messing up dozens of people's day.
There should be zero tolerance for interfering with public transport like this. Any sane community would recognize this as indefensible.
@Ember Pretty sure you actually have no idea. Anyway, here's one credible piece about it:

That's from nearly two years ago now, and we now know that Tesla data should not be included in such studies, because that company's testimony is either untrustworthy or unreliable. (Big surprise, I know.)

Ember is so tired of people.
