Comment Waymo speeds through my school neighborhood (Score 2, Interesting) 45

Sure the speed limit is 30, but we have tons of kids in the neighborhood and narrow streets due to parked cars (we are still in the heart of the coty). Everyone else travels at 20. Waymo regularly travels at 30mph. Maybe its lidar is detecting pedestrians and thinks it is safe, but just the other day I watched a kid run out from behind a parked car to catch a ball. No amount of lidar would catch that at the last minute.

Of course itâ(TM)s play fast, fail hard.. so change will not happen until a kid dies. Just hope it is not mine!

Why wait for Cruise? You can do this today. My daily commute is 20min going up 45 and around 610.. I get the worst of it all. But I don't drive, and while I don't play games or watch movies, I do text, catchup on emails, and eat breakfast. Makes that drive go so much quicker.. Waymo is here too now, so there's space for a new player...
