Laws and regulations need to be put into place on recording in public and what is allowed to be done with those recordings without consent. It's that simple. The concepts of privacy and consent that we have relied on as a society for the past few hundred years were not built to withstand the type of technology that is available today.

If you record in public without consent, the only thing you should be allowed to do with that video is maintain it in private and use it for security or investigative purposes for a fixed time window. Any other use should be prohibited, and yes that this includes use by the media.

If we want to let the media go around and record anyone they want without consent then you should have to get some kind of a license or pass some kind of a minimum bar that is invented because what's going on right now is just not OK.

There are HUNDREDS of brands of camera smart glasses on the market, most of them WITHOUT recording lights.

There are also THOUSANDS of types of OTHER wearable cameras, in every form factor you can think of - pins, pendants, buttons, you name it.

These things have existed FOR YEARS.

THIS IS NOT NEW TECHNOLOGY.

Two problems with your statements

First problem: Waymos have been driving on highways for a long time.

Second, is you are looking at the data totally wrong. To be better than human drivers, all any *individual* Waymo driver has to have is more miles than *the average individual driver* - and that number is already passed by tens-of-thousands.

The "number of trips that happen in a single day" is not relevant whatsoever as a safety metric.

So what?

Do you honestly think that it is going to be faster to

- Call 911
- Get an EMS vehicle dispatched
- Send it to them .. then to just go directly to EMS?

If you do, I think you need to rethink that process. Or, you have never before called 911.

Also, FYI, despite what you may think, ambulances DO have to follow the speed limit.

This whole process seems very dumb and not thought through.

If someone is not responsive in the back of a vehicle when the ride ends. the vehicle should just BE DRIVEN TO THE NEAREST EMS LOCATION, either the fire department or hospital. Calling the city EMS and wasting their time is nonsensical when the person IS IN A VEHICLE THAT DRIVES ITSELF ALREADY.

Then, if they get to the EMS and it turns out the person is just asleep, then charge them a few hundred dollars and reimburse the city.

I am deep in the AI space

And I can tell you, the number of companies that have deployed AI to production well, to any kind of degree, are very slim.

The problem isn't the technology. Its that most companies are staffed and run by incompetants, and are unable to change at the pace needed to get benefit from AI

The disruption caused by AI is going to be felt as existing Fortune 1000 companies all start being disrupted by other companies with half of the operating expenses.

The way the tech works is the camera in the glasses itself is looking for the extra light coming from the LED, which is of a very specific frequency. If the light is not picked up by the camera within the first second of video, then the glasses are disabled. In this way, you can't disable the light, or cover it with tape, or drill it, or anything else - because if the camera can not see it, then the glasses shut off
