They should be accounting for anything that may endanger people.

It should go without saying that the cars should be stopped safely.

They are driving in highly controlled tests. It is the control keeping accidents down. As we see from this article, things go bag quickly when the tight control is lost.

There is no evidence the roads will be any safer. It's a dream the companies are selling, but if there are this many be problems now, imagine how many there would be with thousands of these cars on the road.

I wish that were true, it would have saved us from Taylor Swift.

So this just reinforces my belief that the destruction of capitalism is going to be the fact that it doesn't work (apparently) unless every company can grow forever.

Ok but then you haven't taken it to the next logical step-- If there is no real driver, who then becomes liable? Liability doesn't just 'go away' because a company says it does.

You don't think basically erasing a trillion dollar industry is extreme?

I have never had a Samsung appliance... now I will never have a Samsung appliance.

I guess this is the end of non-DRMd Spotify music. Now you will need a commercial os and player like with many legitimate streaming sites. IE no Linux.

Yet apparently it is at least an edge case to them because they failed to test for it.

It was clear from the beginning that they would be blinded by making money.

Where does it say that stopping in traffic is an acceptable remediation if the car loses connection? In my mind this makes waymo more culpable because they had no way to maintain the mandated connection in the event of a power failure.

How many accidents did these stopped cars cause? Is waymo taking responsibility for those?

So you are saying California did this to themselves.
