@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!

They just keep leaning into the "be evil" don't they?
@mastodonmigration @dangillmor they've been swimming in it for a few years, and they don't care.

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.

@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…

@dangillmor if this is the future count me out.
But also... this makes a stronger argument for separate zones and bike lanes protected by some kind of barrier. I'm also strongly in favour of less space to be given to cars altogether - the emphasis for future planning should be more pedestrian / cycle and public transport.

@dangillmor The idea that they're just going to run people and cyclists over willy nilly is absurd. I work in the industry (not for Waymo) and dealt with multiple scenarios where pedestrians would jump out in front of our cars on purpose.
Is that a stupid thing to do? Yes, but the cars wouldn't hit them. Because it can't. The have collision detection that will stop the car. We even ran a test where we tried to make it hit a child-sized dummy, and it just wouldn't do it.
