It already exists... https://youtu.be/ilcrMz_hWz8
No, actually it doesn’t.
You’ll notice that a) Waymo cars kill people (there’s pending litigation,) and b) they’re only in places with basically perfect weather.
Self driving cars cannot handle any sort of real winter driving.
I can't find anything about waymov cars killing people. Not saying it didn't happen, but id like to see your sources on some (assuming more than one since it's plural) of the deaths.
Regardless, the technologies existence is what is being debated here. Not the moved goalposts of "operable in all weather" or "has never killed someone" using those same goalposts I could claim that passenger aircraft isn't here yet since you can't take off in bad weather & they have killed people
apologies... I seem to have conflated a few items from my feed. There were no deaths. that said, Waymo is defending itself from a lawsuit in SF (iirc) because of an uptick in accidents, and the NTSFB peeps say that waymo is involved in the most accidents (per road hour, IIRC) of all the autonomous vehicles.
They're also suing (or were suing) the California DMV to keep their accident records secret as a "trade secret". lol.
