Comment on Waymo Robotaxis Are Giving 100,000 Rides a Week. It'll Soon Be More.

I cant believe they allow these things on our roads as a public beta test.

Good thing they aren’t on your roads then, being that you’re not American, and therefore not in either of the metropolitan areas they operate. They are on my roads however, I see them all the time. I see constant terrible driving from all kinds of people, but these things are patient and I don’t think I’ve personally seen one make a mistake.
By referring to their current stage of deployment as a public beta like it’s a bad thing you show a ton of ignorance on how testing cycles work as well. No amount of alpha testing would make these safe for broad deployment into real world scenarios that test designers can’t dream up. This is exactly the type of slow roll out that is required to get as much real experiences as possible to be programmed for.
I have no doubt these things aren’t perfect, but they are a lot better than an overworked and tired human being the wheel.

“Being better than human drivers” is such a low bar because human drivers are terrible. But even if AI cars do better statistically, the mistakes they do make are so strange and preventable, it really makes you think.
Just because something is safer statistically doesn’t mean it doesn’t need to be better. Heck maybe the whole system needs to be better.
