“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’m all for self driving car tech, but not with goals of perpetual revenue generation.
Give me something that is an addon to any car without any subscription or maintenance fees so I can just have it installed in my own car or in a few family cars, otherwise i’m truly not interested in providing yet another techbro for pay to use technology full of day 1 enshittification goals that include paying workers absolutely nothing.
We all know that by the time real self driving cars are established they will cost as much or more than paying an actual human to do the job and all profit goes into the hands of a few. It’s just like what they’re going for with AI overall.
theoretically comma ai does that, but i would never trust an autopilot car with the current tech.
