“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!
“Has said”
Dude totally believes everything big tech says.
Not at all, they just have no reason to purposefully leave several dozen vehicles blocking roads for hours because they got stuck if they could fix it remotely that easily. There is no advantage to doing that, only negatives and possibly even fines from the state.
