Not sure I agree with Chuck’s conclusion here. They’ve obviously never gated a release on the success of this turn.

1. It's not LA, it's Tempe, AZ. 2. Then it should turn right and reroute to the destination. This incident is not a good example...

Not sure if impatient is fair. They’re driving in LA, they could literally be waiting there for hours. I’m wondering how far they drove...

Waymo has to report when they hit dogs (or anything else). https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/file/waymo_052123-pdf/

Looks like their collisions are about the same. 71 in 2022, 50 in 2023 and 14 (x3 = 42) so far this year. Though I didn’t look to see...

That would be a horrible metric. So we deploy AVs and the number of fatalities increases? If I’m a passenger an AV I don’t care whose...

Highways are simpler most of the time. The problem is the times when there are pedestrians on the highway or there is someone driving...

anti lock brakes are required because they allow you to turn with brakes fully applied. When they were first developed I don’t think...

Not according to every robotaxi company on the planet. Different challenges and higher stakes game tho. You can't just stop and wait for...

More evidence Waymo is cranking up the temperature on the neural nets these days (assuming this is new). It does seem like we're seeing...

Interesting. It does seem like it must have been specifically programmed to turn there. I doubt it turns left at normal no left turn...

There is a signal there for a protected left turn. It’s too bad we’ll probably never get an explanation. Would be interesting to see how...

Interesting. Hopefully Waymo will explain. I suspect that Waymo thinks they are allowed in transit lanes but did not program in this...

Waymos are not taxis (they don't have taxi medallions), so like Uber and Lyft, they are not allowed on Bus/Taxi lanes (other than to...

SFMTA says taxis are allowed in the lanes...
