          @yetzt @dangillmor

          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."

            @dangillmor I guess society is no longer bound to laws either, then? “What a nice autonomous taxi you have there. Would be a shame if anything happened to it…”

              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 Google shouldn’t put it like that; otherwise, their cars will end up being flipped upside down by an angry member of the public wielding a shovel.

                            @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.

                                    Google's antonymous taxi company says it won't obey traffic safety laws because its customers want convenience, so screw those bicyclists who don't want to be injured or killed.

                                    @dangillmor "Terminator". It just looks different, but it's coming.

                                      @dangillmor @paulk Grief! These things are going to be so unpredictable that they will be lethal and should just be banned.

                                        @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.

                                        @newint @dangillmor The "problem" is that humans need to eat and therefore don't act as drivers for free, which means their pay reduces the profits of the broligarchs.

                                          @dangillmor TBH, I'd consider any Cyclist poppin' 9x19mm +P+ SJHP (regular 9mm.won't go through tires) into any of those shit vehicles' tires an act of "self & mutual defense" against murder by car…

                                          • Or just place Calthrops on the markings if not sprinkle them before said cars.
