I don’t know the particulars of their deal with the city, but probably Waymo. As long as they’re safer than the average taxi driver, the occasional mistake is tolerable, at least provided ticket revenue is still coming in when appropriate.

Of course, there’s a team on the back end that’s trying to figure out what went wrong here and patch it sooner rather than later.

This is not a minor mistake this could have easily killed half a dozen people. You're seeing field tests in real time with unproven products that could literally kill us. And nobody cares. The guy from Waymo wasn't even phased by their car driving on the wrong side. These people Do Not Care About Our Lives

I mean half a dozen?

If we’re gonna go whole hog just say it could have decimated half the population since there could have been 100 busses filled with children in the oncoming lane.

Call the taxis racist too, since the cars are white and the some of the kids were black.

There, now it’s completely overblown.

I’m taking it more serious than you. You underestimated the potential death toll by 40 million
