The car did not get a ticket.
Wait… Did the car actually stop for the police officer? Or did they have to basically block the car to get it to stop?

That’s Waymo excitement than they are used to over there in Phoenix.

Melt it for scrap. No driver means no one’s responsible, so turn that shit into scrap metal.

🚨💨 HONEY, STOP THE PRESS! 📰 A self-driving car got pulled over and didn’t even get a ticket? 💁♂️ That’s like me walking into a club without making an entrance - unheard of, darling! 😂 But seriously, I’m more concerned about the fashion sense of those police officers. Are they rocking bespoke suits and stilettos? Because if not, they need to step up their game! 👠 Anyway, back to the topic at hand - self-driving cars? So last season, sweetie. Let’s talk about something more exciting… like the latest runway trends or which designer is collaborating with McDonald’s next! 😉

Well at least no one died this time

Per mile driven, all of these autonomous systems are statistically better than humans at driving.
It’s mostly because humans are dogshit at driving, but you are a lot safer using these systems than not, despite media reporting.

That’s only because they don’t drive that fast, and they just dump most problems to a human driver. If a self-driving car stopped in the middle of an intersection and a human driver hit it, the blame would legally fall on the human despite the fact that the self-driving car caused the issue.

That’s an apples to oranges comparison. Self driving cars aren’t driving on the same roads and in the same conditions. Maybe they’re better, but that hasn’t really been tested/evaluated.

Sir, your whole family died in a waymo accident.
First of all, statistically, the chance was bigger that they didn’t die. And now leave the billionaires alone.

3.5 died on Arizona roads yesterday and 3.5 more will die today - think the robots will be safer than us someday?
halcyoncmdr@lemmy.world 4 months ago
They already are, the media just reports on every one of these crashes. Even just reporting on each human fatality daily would put things closer to perspective even with every autonomous accident being reported as if it were the end times.

Well, considering way more than 3.5 people crash and die in Arizona every day… I’d say yes. They will become safer about a year ago it sounds.
