New: Waymo is getting DoorDashers to close doors on self driving cars that people have left open. One Dasher got a job recently asking them to close a Waymo door. Reached out to company, they confirmed its a program in Atlanta. Even with AI, need a person here https://www.404media.co/waymo-is-getting-doordashers-to-close-doors-on-self-driving-cars/

@josephcox What a bizarre future timeline we are living in, hiring a person online to close the door of the self driving car you hired online.

@josephcox did nobody tell them that a cars door will close if they accelerate?

[dixon@theatl.social]

@rallias @josephcox At the speeds these things accelerate, wouldn't be hard
