I thought that name sounded familiar =>

“In Self-Driving Race, Waymo Sets Its Own Terms”

https://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3601019/posts

______

“Waymo now testing its self-driving cars on public roads with no one at the wheel”

I wonder how many accidents will happen before self-driving cars are discontinued.

I read where they have estimated that self driving cars will need operator intervention every three thousand hours or so. Hmm. So, how likely is it that an occupant of the car would be paying attention to driving conditions at the moment a situation comes up? And would they have driving skills to take over if they don’t actually drive on a routine basis?

I’m sticking with regular cars.

From the story:
The driver of the Waymo vehicle told Mesa police that the car was not in autonomous mode at the time of Saturday night's crash.

Witnesses say another car failed to stop for a red light and crashed into the Waymo vehicle as it was turning left.

The car then struck three other vehicles.
The crash had nothing to do with self-driving cars other then the self-driving car (not in autonomous mode) was the victim (as were three other normal cars).

This one is just “dog bites man”, but another way to title it: Four human driven cars involved in five car crash.”

Why didn’t you note that the Waymo car in no way caused the accident?
