Comment on DoorDashers are getting paid to close Waymo's self-driving car doors

Hmmm…so it costs Waymo $11.25 if you “forget” to shut the door.

Maybe people will become very forgetful.

Or, upon reflection, just don’t use Waymo, and don’t play into it at all.

If you leave it all the way open, the car just needs to drive a couple feet with decent acceleration to close it.

If you ALMOST close it, but not all the way, that would require some sort of intervention.

  Nah, you just speed up then slam on the brakes to open it, then you can close it as you said.

Need a car to get to the airport, because my city doesn’t have mass transit.

If the only cars in my area are Waymos, do I just skip my flight?

  “Don’t use X” always means “it’s okay to use X if there are no alternatives but do look for alternatives”. Unless X is X. Then don’t use X.

  Well, in that case maybe you just forget to shut the door ;)
