Comment on Death of beloved neighborhood cat sparks outrage against robotaxis in San Francisco

  I meant that the Waymo didn’t see it, neither did the passengers, so the cat could’ve been difficult to detect.

    Not an excuse.

      A small animal not being visible to a human or robotic driver is absolutely a viable excuse. It’s sad that the cat died, but it’s first an foremost the fault of the owners for letting their cat out.

      I don’t like the tech bro world and I’m not a fan of driverless vehicles, but this didn’t happen because it was driverless and the outcome would be the same if their were a person behind the wheel.

      You can definitely argue against cars being on the road in general, but I was on a bike ride with a buddy the other day, and he hit a squirrel that ran between us and then under his bike. Sometimes bad things happen especially when dealing with animals, and blaming a computer blindly is dumb AF.

        I mean ok we can keep cats indoor, what about making techbros indoor only too? They kill a lot of innocent people with the tools they make.

        and let the birds, mice, etc… live without fear.

        LOL, that’s not really how mice and small birds work.

        How about you keep your mice and birds inside?
