When people say, "I outsourced to a junior developer" it's a strong sign they are talking BS.

No one ever talked about outsourcing to a junior developer before AI code was a thing.

I'm not sure you know what binary is.

Oh, you did it now. Now I'm reaching for the big rhetorical guns. If you like roundabouts, you are literally Hitler! Remember, you made me do it.

Wait until you find out that cities can make their own traffic laws, too.

That will be great, then we can have supreme court judge manipulation and national elections based on whether right turn on red should be legal or not. Give me passing on the right or give me death! Make America great again, get rid of the roundabouts! Speed up to get through yellow lights is change we can believe in!

If Waymo is operating in a state, they can follow the laws of the state. That's the easy part of self-driving.

If it's on a computer, it's fully deterministic (unless someone installed a hardware RNG).

I expect Waymo to follow basic driving laws. That's not an edge case.

Even if the model doesn't have understanding, it can be trained to stop for school buses.

What is the source for your information?

Someone should have (and I'm sure they did) thought, "we need to train this to handle school-buses and cone zones" then including those scenarios in the training data.

There are definitely side cases that are difficult to predict for self-driving vehicles; this isn't one of them.

I would like to see the context behind why Waymo refused this request, prima facie it seems like a reasonable request.

I would expect "stopping for school busses" would be an obvious and easy situation.

Oh good point

Your logic is really bad. Maybe learn to read.
