    Waymo is safe. Tesla self driving is garbage

      Also Waymo is liable for accidents but for Tesla's drivers are liable.

      I have been following self driving for years, and from what I am seeing Tesla have basically solved self driving. It is not perfect, but it wouldn't surprise me to see Tesla operating a fully autonomous ride sometime next year.

    I've been in a Waymo. They are safe. The data says so. They are nothing to fear. Anyone ever use an elevator? They used to have drivers too. Things evolve.

    Some of these comments are funny.
    These robotaxis have been driving around for over 10 years with no accidents or deaths, and all of a sudden, things are going to go wrong in LA?
    You need to look into how good these Waymo robotaxis are then comment.

      Waymo is extremely limited in what it can do and where it can go, and is far from perfect. Just recently saw a video of a waymo driving into a construction site, where the workers were laying a new road. Waymo is good at what it does, but what it does is very limited.

    Metro self driving bus would be more affordable for low income folks. $7.09 for my 11-minute, 1.9-mile ride, and $6.86 for my other 11 minutes, 1.8-mile for a ride on that vehicle.

    So how does it work if the traffic lights are off and an officer is directing traffic, can someone at the waymo office take over and drive it remotely if it's confused? Like remote piloted using a simulator that shows actual video.

    • @islandskys

      Waymo is trained to recognize officers directing traffic too! There is also remote assistance that can help suggest to Waymo what to do, but no one can remotely drive it.
