“I believe the technology was deployed too quickly in too vast amounts, with hundreds of vehicles, when it wasn’t really ready,” one police official told federal regulators last month.
Said something about how an ambulance was blocked for quite a while waitng for one of these stupid things to move.
Um, push it out of the way. Not like an ambulance is small. Get them all push bars and move those fucking pieces of shit with a good shove. Tell the people in the Waymo to GTFO and then push the fucking thing over.
Then send Waymo a bill for any damages to the ambulance, cop car, fire truck, etc.
Why is this so hard? I’m not normally a fan of brute force and ignorance, but it does have it’s uses. Waymo isn’t doing anything because there are no consequences. They don’t come to meetings, they don’t fix the problem and they issue bullshit public statements that mean nothing. Fine, you want to choose the “do nothing” option, we’ll choose the “shove your stupid piece of shit high-school science project into a ditch” option.
Fire trucks will gladly push a Waymo out of the way, but an ambulance doesn’t have that kind of horsepower, not to mention the fact that purposely colliding with another vehicle with a patient in the back is a great way to be sued and probably lose your qualifications
Why are you assuming the ambulance is the first car behind the Waymo? Are they supposed to bash through all traffic to get to the Waymo and then push it? You know a lot of ambulance drivers are just low level private employees with a couple weeks of training, right? They’re not going to just use the ambulance like a tank and then tell their corporate ambulance company employer to sue Waymo, a huge and powerful tech company. Christ man join reality.

I think you may be overestimating the power of an E-450.
So little torque from such a big engine. My 3 liter has more. They need turbodiesels.
Maybe that low torque is desirable for patient stability?
