some failures from today:
* crested a hill just as a waymo was pulling onto the road; there was plenty of space to slow down and follow the Waymo (almost fully in the lane when I saw it for the first time), but the beta decided it needed to pass the slower-moving car despite the next intersection being imminent.
* turned on autopilot as I approached a raised bus stop that was in between two lanes of traffic (my car in the right-hand lane). As the beta approached the bus stop median it decided it needed to be in the left lane and jerked the steering wheel into the median. No nav-related reasons to change lanes for like a mile at that point. Certain crash if I didn’t intervene.
* kept switching between left and right lanes on a curvy section of the road ”to avoid cones”. I think the lack of shoulders made it think that the concrete barriers on either side of the road were obstructions to dodge.
