Imagine being an unsuspecting passenger in a Waymo as it goes straight into a pedestrian at full speed. That possibility alone gives me pause to ever use an FSD service.

Imagine being an unsuspecting passenger in a taxi cab as it goes straight into a pedestrian at full speed. That possibility alone gives me pause to ever let anyone else drive me around.
Cab drivers have an incentive to not cause accidents (I.e., legal liability and loss of licensure etc), but so do Waymos. The difference being that each cab driver makes their own judgment calls whereas the waymo fleet should be the same training set. I’m sure you’ve experienced a wide, wide variety of safety levels from hired drivers; I know I have.

How quaint, California. In Minnesota we call those potholes, and they rarely command a segment on the nightly news.

From the headline, I had expected to see a vehicle coming to an abrupt stop while partially submerged, perhaps with its rear wheels in the air! This must have been a slow news day.

Why don't they at least put some cones down?
