Comment on A crowd destroyed a driverless Waymo car in San Francisco
masterspace@lemmy.ca 11 months agoYour health insurance doesn’t pay for a taxi or transport ambulance if you’re immobile? What kind of 3rd world shithole do you live in (don’t say I know the answer: America).
A taxi, you mean like a car? You mean like the Waymo taxi that was trashed?
That’s not a village that’s a farm.
We’re discussing how there are people in the country who don’t own tractors.
What’s the point of self driving when the car doesn’t need to move without someone in it?
Because self driving cars have the potential to be safer and less dangerous than human drivers. Waymo’s safety record is already better than the average human on a per mile basis.
On your farm with ten kilometre driveway?
The people who work those jobs, also live out in the country.

Yes. I never said that those things have no place.
Then either they should have a bus station in walking distance or be covered by a collect taxi service.
The average human is not a good driver. You have to compare performance, and not just safety but also route efficiency, flexibility to unforseen events etc. not against the average driver, but professional taxi drivers.
Why the fuck don’t they live at the farm. What’s it with USians trying to make everything as hard for themselves as possible.

Then why trash an autonomous taxi?
Lol. You do not understand the distances involved.
Until we live in your made up fantasy world where the only drivers allowed on the road are professionals, then sure. But we’re not, we’re discussing real world performance today.
Because they’re not farmers, try and keep up with the conversation.
I’m not American, and it took literally thousands of years of development to turn Europe into what it is today, so maybe try and have some perspective on the feasibility of your “solutions”.

You mean why did homeless people trash an autonomous taxi? I’d say because inner-city liberal techbros care more about fancy tech toys than providing stuff that people actually need, such as shelter and healthcare. At least that’s the usual logic of riots and vandalism.
So if you work at a farm, but are not a farmer, you can’t live there? You are legally required to have a 20km commute based on a law to preserve the integrity of farm life or something? What kind of bullshit is that.

Uh, you can watch the video, it wasn’t homeless people.
Lmfao, bruh, you’re a fucking idiot or you’re too tired or you’re a bad fucking bot, but either way you clearly can’t follow a conversation. We’re not talking about people who work on farms.
