“This is it. We’re dead. We’re going to die right here in the Waymo.”

This combined with another recent article from some insiders at Tesla saying, along the lines, “You couldn’t pay me to let one of these things drive me somewhere.”

And yet I still know people who are just so chuffed about “never having to drive again.”

EDIT: Comments have pointed out that this story is, at best, overblown and semi-fabricated otherwise. Take it with a massive grain of salt. But feel free to discuss self-driving, waymo, etc in the comments!

    I mean, keeping your passengers away from cops is a very good way to keep them alive in the USA.

      Only if they’re not already focused on you. Once they are, trying to get away is likely to get you shot in the back when they fear for their lives because you’re running away or something.
