I actually never thought of that. There's no way a Waymo will keep driving if there's someone in the way.

This technology only works in a high trust society.

Sucks to see, but I guess it was inevitable.

I hate the concept, but I was genuinely shocked at how much I enjoyed Waymo when I rode a few months ago against my will.

It’s a much better driver than your standard Uber/Lyft. And on top of that, it didn’t smell like weed, dirty diapers, armpits, throw up, or any combination thereof. That’s yuge these days.

If you're in a traffic jam like after an SEC football game. You can change lanes or pull in front of a Wamo or a Tesla & the car will stop to let you in

Been thinking there was some sort of flaw in that and if someone wanted to make your car stop and hurt you, all one of the guys has to do is walk in front the car.

And you are nothing more than a sitting duck

Getaway Car was a robot


quote:

The getaway car was parked just outside the Marina yoga studio, idling in the January night air as the burglar made his move.

In under three minutes, the burglar was in and out of Hot 8 Yoga with an armload of activewear. He stuffed the loot in the car's trunk, hopped inside and disappeared down the street, comfortably carried away by an autonomous Waymo vehicle.

The suspect's escape turned an otherwise unremarkable break-in into a novel case for San Francisco police, who said it was likely the city's first instance of a criminal fleeing the scene in a self-driving car.

Nearly six months since the burglary, police have still not made an arrest or publicly identified any suspect, despite the fact that Waymos are outfitted with multiple high-definition cameras and require users to make accounts with their credit card numbers.

I assume this will be a common thing when waymo starts in new orleans.

One person stand in the street while the second robs the rider.

PSA: Do not open your windows in Waymos. I was assaulted and robbed in a Waymo in the Mission District.

Don’t worry, I have Waymo common sense than the driver.

What kind of police were investigating this?
1. Waymo requires user profiles and credit cards.
2. Waymo has a database of where their cars
are at any particular time of the day, via GPS.

Thus can only work if the yoga pants thief used a stolen credit card to open his Waymo account.
