Should we then apply the same logic to very fallible human drivers?

The entire positive side to bureaucracies and committees and governments is that they have enough people in them to do multiple things at once.

Usually when someone says something like what you said and I quoted above here, they are trying to argue that human drivers shouldn't exist. Maybe this is true, for some particular set of truths, but there's always a number of ways you can look at a situation. For example, I would argue that no one and no computer should be driving in the bulk of situations we are currently driving in, because cars are a terrible mode of transportation in the cities where most people live.

Yes, and also the open driver is worth a shit unlike the closed driver for Windows, which provably is not. So not only do you not have the Nvidia driver shittiness, you don't have the AMD Windows driver shittiness either. If you're not deeply into LLMs then AMD is the obvious choice for a GPU for Linux.

Communism was supposed to be about equality and the people controlling everything in a bottom up manner. But the moment you implement it on a national scale you end up with a small inner circle

Nobody has ever tried to implement "Communism without a small inner circle" at the national level, and WITH it, it isn't Communism. Maybe there is no such thing as Communism, like there is no such thing as a completely free market, but nobody ever made a good faith effort to have everyone be equal at that level. There's always the plan to ride atop the masses.

Just redo your constitutional setup.

"Just"

It's super hard to redo our constitution. There's only two ways, one is with fire and the other requires consensus.

It's not that the vast majority of people in the US ain't noticing that fundamentals of the US system have to change.

The vast majority of people in the US don't know shit.

ii. Get rid of senior executives who are more interested in their fiefdoms vs. the company well being

I appreciate your ideas, but this will never work. Executives (and every other sane person at the company) will always be more interested in their own success than in the company's success.

I've seen videos of these waymo lots and it is far and away the most idiotic system designed by people who are probably rather intelligent.

The problem is insisting that a charging depot for autonomous cars should look and behave as a traditional car park. It should be a fully enclosed garage, to keep out the rifraff, with a palletized racking system. When there is vacancy, the car would be signaled to drive onto the pallet, and the robot in the garage slots it into an available spot, silently. When the charge is complete, the car is put back out to the road and oriented such that it doesn't need to back out.

It could be built underground, above ground or adjacent to a traditional car garage. The neighborhood would be insulated from equipment noise, car noise, and it would occupy a fraction of the real estate.
