    It's time we recenter the discourse on AV tech around the fact that the technology itself is fake. This is not a real technology in any way; if AV tech were mature, we'd see Waymo et al deploying large fleets in every city worldwide.

    If AV tech were real it wouldn't look like it does, i.e., a handful of vehicles in a few cities.

    This technology doesn't exist in any real sense. This technology is make believe.

    We need to recenter the discourse around how AV tech, as such, doesn't exist.

      @prietschka i've been banging this drum for years. "it's not actually deployed on streets" is something they're deploying capital to counter. what they don't, and won't, have a counter for is that they still make entire categories of mistakes that even bad human drivers don't and are regularly stymied by situations any human driver could negotiate. they've solved the easiest 80% of the problem and have no plan for getting the rest of the way (ie to even mediocre human performance).

        @prietschka also their numbers are cooked (logging endless miles on empty streets with no passengers to inflate their "miles driven without incident" stats) and they lie whenever they can get away with it (tesla was caught just straight up "losing" logs in an important court case). they're doing it so they can entirely replace public transit and establish a new, unregulated monopoly where workers and customers have zero rights.

          @prietschka I currently have zero robotaxis deployed, so I’m closer to Tesla’s numbers than Tesla is to Waymo.
