I would have been hit by a #Waymo if I hadn't observed how Waymos actually perform. A Waymo was stopped in the daylighting zone at the corner, in what was otherwise the parking lane. I was in the right most traffic lane, about to make a right turn. When the light turned green, I started forward - and so did the Waymo. It continued straight, pulling into my lane. It clearly did not recognize (or care) that I was in the traffic lane, or that I had approached with my turn signal on. I was cautious, as I had seen a stopped Waymo start up just as a parked car in front of it began to pull out of a parking place.
Are #Waymos "safe"? - at the low speeds, bodywork would have been damaged, but probability of injury is very low. For a motorcycle or bicycle rider, maybe not so safe. Absolutely incompetent software for city driving.
And I realize I am not sure if we have a common definition of #safe and #safety. If only property damage occurs, is that "safe"?

So I guess #WaywardWaymos are a thing now?
Unoccupied, driverless #Waymo #cars have invaded a neighborhood near us, repeatedly #driving into a dead-end road, around the cul-de-sac, then driving out. They're not there to pick up passengers. But there are plenty of children and pets in the area.
The cars are lost. And on auto-repeat. :eyeroll:
#Empty #Waymos invade #Atlanta #neighborhood, circle #CulDeSac for hours with no #passengers

I saw one of these super aggressive #Google #Waymos a couple of days ago on Folsom Stret, between 1st and Fremont! It was stuck behind a Muni 12 bus and its system decided the passengers were taking too long. Instead of waiting, the #robotaxi crossed the double solid yellow lines to pass the bus, driving into oncoming traffic. It put its passengers, drivers, people walking and biking at risk.
Yay for 2026!

Sterben für die Zukunft!
Waymos Co-CEO glaubt an Erfolg auch bei Todesfall.
Selbst, wenn ein selbstfahrendes Auto einen tödlichen Unfall verursachen würde, würde die Gesellschaft das akzeptieren, meint #Waymos Co-CEO. https://www.golem.de/news/robotaxis-waymos-co-ceo-glaubt-an-erfolg-auch-bei-todesfall-2510-201652.html

to see how dishonest the "conservative" legal establishment in america is, here's John "Torture Is Good, Actually" Yoo explaining to a credulous Charles Cooke (National Review) that setting #waymos on fire in #LA was "more violent" than trump sending people to their deaths w/lies on january 6th

This is why the ONLY cars burning last night in #DTLA were the #Waymos.
It was NOT "A mob vandalizing and burning cars" randomly. They selectively mitigated the risk from dangerous technology under unknown control.
A #robotaxi is a RoboCop with wheels and no human parts. https://mastodon.social/@dangillmor/114651872855527720

#Immigration #protests in #LosAngeles #LA #California
There's a lot of violent video out there. I'm going to avoid it, it's lurid. But I want to focus on this video because it speaks to our future:
#Waymo taxis on fire
Going after regular people's cars is dumb. It turns regular people against you
But #Waymos are #robots, easy dumb targets, and there is no threat to human life
Plus they are #corporate #AI assets and represent our growing #enshittification from creepy #techbros
Light 'em up

Apparently #Waymos are now aping human #driver behavior so the whole thing about how they are safer drivers than us looks likely to go up in a puff of smoke. https://www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/waymo-robotaxis-driving-like-humans-20354066.php
