Self-driving cars cannot navigate entire cities. No.
From what I’ve seen self-driving cars can navigate a 4 mile pre-learned route from the showroom to the delivery truck co.
Yup waymos are all over the place in phx area. Teslas might not do it but that doesn’t mean nobody can. This isn’t even Chinese electric cars with crazy features as well
Tesla is an industry joke. Keep your eyes peeled for Zoox.
Phoenix (and LA) are famous for basically not having weather. These things are working well in Richmond, or Boston.
Phoenix has all their weather in Late Aug through Early Sep, in the form of monsoons and haboobs. Then again in late Jan through early Feb, in the form of frost and a light dusting of snow that immediately melts.
Waymos in philly still have drivers, how about in phx?
Nope
ATLien here. Seeing a Waymo ruins my day. Seeing one of the freeway my whole week.
Your source is waymo’s own propaganda (which is NOT about cities in general it’s about nine specific American cities), my source against even that much is everyone else seeing them get stuck regularly:

Anyways, I’ll leave you to your corporate dick sucking.
I swear you are implying you have never seen a human get stuck navigating a car for what would seem to be mundane or pointless reasons…
Humans all have different levels of competency, Waymos all have the same level.
How is this relevant?
If it is relevant it’s a strong premise to add to the argument to why we need to strip people of their licenses, but that’s not germaine to the conversion.
Dumbass, it means what causes one waymo an accident or blockage, blocks them all. This is not so with drivers. What’s more drivers learn immediately.
Take your anti-human, pro-billionaire bullshit elsewhere. My point was already proven with Waymo its self not being able to tackle cities in general… Which is the fucking topic. Not how much you’ll bend over for them.
I am not anti human or pro billionaire. Your inferences about me are unfounded. I am calling you out for a lack of functional argument. Your statement “Waymo cannot navigate cities” loads the idea that because there Waymo lacks a human there is no variance in decision making.
Let’s concede, for sake of argument, all Waymo make the same decision every time without fail.
Let’s further suppose a group of persons learned to drive and were told you cannot pull out into the intersection for a left turn. Now you have a group of people who clearly will make the same decision and hold up traffic.
If there is no one to inform them and in some sense reprogram this, then they will continue to do this ad nauseum.
Thus, there is no functional difference beyond your pre-loaded bias about Waymo cars and improperly trained human drivers.
Plot twist: they can’t navigate entire cities. Some very well maintained streets, maybe.
Maybe we should build streets especially for them, then. Except I don’t think they’ll need the full width of a normal street. With their computer-driven precision they could probably get by with just a couple of narrow strips of metal.
And you could probably optimize traffic by increasing the size of the cars to include a lot more seats, or even standing room. Or even connecting multiple cars together for efficiency if there are a lot of other people who want to take the same route.
you’re on to something 🤔 perhaps some type of rail that goes on the road for high speed travel hmm
we’ll rename the cars to “pods”
Pretty sure some wooden planks in the middle would do wonders for stability and durability. Maybe some gravel too. Why has nobody thought of this yet??
No, just one strip of… it’s really more of a shelbyville idea
I’ve heard those things are awfully loud.
They are Jesus fucking loud dude. So loud we’d have to make a song about the bordello or something
Nice thought. 👌👌👌
Can I hire Etsy witches for this?
You can hire Etsy witches for WAY more things than you think.
Anyone have the contact info of the one who killed Charlie Kirk?

What happens if you draw two yellow line circles around it?
Subaru Impreza 1998 would never
TBF I know humans this would work on too.
Me! The bullies at work keep doing this to me :(

Whomst the fuck tried to use a fae as a substitute for a daemon? It’s called a daemon engine not a fairy engine, there’s a reason we don’t use fae and it’s shit like this and them just inventing new terms of service. Shoddy craft all around, whoever made this needs to return to Zharr-Naggrund and be made into an Infernal Guard.
AI cars are a disaster in the making for urban design and transportation.
