Expecting driverless taxis to respect bike lanes “too high a bar” – because customers want to be dropped off in them, autonomous vehicle firm Waymo tells cyclists
Waymo, the autonomous driving tech firm whose so-called ‘robo-taxis’ are now roaming the streets of London, has allegedly told cycling campaigners that expecting their driverless cars to respect cycle lanes is “too high a bar” – because their customers want to be dropped off in them.But Waymo has denied making such a claim, instead pointing ...

@dangillmor so autonomous driving being as uncivil as a human driver removes the need for autonomous driving.

@dangillmor Well they gonna have a great time with London’s traffic cameras and the even more feared traffic wardens. And then London’s cycling community will probably want to have a chew on them as well.
Idiots.

waymo - noun from the verb "to waymow", coined from "to lawn-mow", but applied to road usage. Ex.: "His ride then waymowed across the bike lane to take a legal turn on red, cannoning directly into two crossing pedestrians."

Why we don’t build autonomous walking Robots by our own? They may not be able to respect these self-driving cars. They may not know that a hammer hand has another primary function. But who cares!

If I understand correctly, this is just for picking people up and dropping them off. Every normal taxi would also do that.

@dangillmor Which problem do these self-driving vehicles solve, which issue is so pressing, that we have to dedicate development time and sacrifice existing infrastructure? We don’t need flying taxis and self driving cars. We need separate bicycle lanes, affordable and reliable public transport, clean air, etc. which benefit all, not just some tech companies.
