“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!

    Yeah the only real solution to this problem is to put a genuinely competent AGI into the car. Which of course of course they’ve known from the start, but have never been prepared to admit.

      It’s not really a solution to rely on something that doesn’t exist. The closest we can get is to have a person there to oversee and be liable for whatever happens.
