Wammo might be a better nameAnd will the first person be injured or killed or bomb be delivered by a driverless car? Mark my words I see these as source of death and destruction, without the suicide bomber.
Waymo, is way too close to Wam-O.
Slow the first time it hits something, that name will stick. Brand name marred forever.
Poor marketing IMO.
Self-driving cars and AI robots will keep a lot of people from having to go to a nursing home. I figure they will have attained such capabilities by the time I reach that stage. I’ve always said I will never go to one.
Well... as long as there is no one else 'on the road', it should be safe.
Since they abandoned human override, I’m not exactly enthused at these.
ROBOT VEHICLES HIDE CRASHES
Robot vehicles are ALREADY killing people and crippling children, but you are NOT SUPPOSED TO TALK ABOUT IT!
Shhhh! Please keep the secret. But human drivers must report accidents to the police. Robots have privilege to conceal accidents.
Robot gadgets are already installed in cars & semi trucks. They control following distance, lane departure etc. But each electronic robot gadget has 100s of defects. The big corporations who use them are technically illiterate. Safety personnel are illiterates.
Robots already cause major accidents, property damage, bodily injury and death. But how? It is simple.
Robots get a pass on accidents.
Humans must report accidents.
What do semi truck drivers call Robot gadgets currently installed on trucks? Nice? Great? Thanks? NO!
Robot gadgets are called DANGEROUS GADGETS by drivers.
Live in your utopia dream land. But in the real world Robot Gadgets are dangerous, and turn Good drivers into Bad drivers.
But your ignorance must feel blissful.
Wammo might be a better nameIn the words of John Fogerty, “I see trouble on the way.”
“Waymo’s stated goal is to ensure safer roads for everyone”
Humans, you no longer need to be accomplished or skilled at anything, we robots will take care of you better than you can possibly take care of yourselves.
The video is ideal weather and ideal traffic. What we in the software industry call the “happy path”. What about rain? At night? In snow while it’s snowing at night? I’m guessing it will likely shut these things down. Downtown Boston during rush hour? Again likely way to difficult still. Five-way intersections with lots of pedestrians? Color me skeptical.
What scares me is they are using Chrysler vehicles.
