“This is it. We’re dead. We’re going to die right here in the Waymo.”
This combined with another recent article from some insiders at Tesla saying, along the lines, “You couldn’t pay me to let one of these things drive me somewhere.”
And yet I still know people who are just so chuffed about “never having to drive again.”
EDIT: Comments have pointed out that this story is, at best, overblown and semi-fabricated otherwise. Take it with a massive grain of salt. But feel free to discuss self-driving, waymo, etc in the comments!
It could be possible that the remote operators take control in complex crowded situations like side streets with cars parked on both sides of the streets and 2-way traffic having to share a single lane. But you’re probably right, what I’m interpreting as aggressive driving could just be the programming doing odd things because it gets confused.
