Self-driving cars cannot navigate entire cities. No.

    Yup waymos are all over the place in phx area. Teslas might not do it but that doesn’t mean nobody can. This isn’t even Chinese electric cars with crazy features as well

    Phoenix (and LA) are famous for basically not having weather. These things are working well in Richmond, or Boston.

    Your source is waymo's own propaganda (which is NOT about cities in general it's about nine specific American cities), my source against even that much is everyone else seeing them get stuck regularly:

    Anyways, I'll leave you to your corporate dick sucking.

    I swear you are implying you have never seen a human get stuck navigating a car for what would seem to be mundane or pointless reasons...

    Humans all have different levels of competency, Waymos all have the same level.

    How is this relevant?

    If it is relevant it's a strong premise to add to the argument to why we need to strip people of their licenses, but that's not germaine to the conversion.

    Dumbass, it means what causes one waymo an accident or blockage, blocks them all. This is not so with drivers. What's more drivers learn immediately.

    Take your anti-human, pro-billionaire bullshit elsewhere. My point was already proven with Waymo its self not being able to tackle cities in general... Which is the fucking topic. Not how much you'll bend over for them.

    I am not anti human or pro billionaire. Your inferences about me are unfounded. I am calling you out for a lack of functional argument. Your statement "Waymo cannot navigate cities" loads the idea that because there Waymo lacks a human there is no variance in decision making.

    Let's concede, for sake of argument, all Waymo make the same decision every time without fail.

    Let's further suppose a group of persons learned to drive and were told you cannot pull out into the intersection for a left turn. Now you have a group of people who clearly will make the same decision and hold up traffic.

    If there is no one to inform them and in some sense reprogram this, then they will continue to do this ad nauseum.

    Thus, there is no functional difference beyond your pre-loaded bias about Waymo cars and improperly trained human drivers.
