    How did Waymo know they were in possession of an illegal firearm?

    You can't easily conceal a firearm of that size without proper kit, and those taxis are more camera than car.

    But what made it illegal? A semiauto AK is perfectly legal, and I doubt the Waymo has camera fidelity enough to differentiate the two. (Cameras capable of looking it over and declaring a lack of serial number) Was it clearly custom made? Riders openly discussing it's nature?

    TOS to prohibit a firearm. Car stops, calls the cops. Trespassing charges if it's a legal gun? Otherwise just a GTFO because the company now refuses to serve them, as they are legally permitted to do? In this case it's also a ghost gun, extra spooky for the cops/government, so news worthy.

    Ah ok. I thought the AI had hallucinated a gun.

    Why does this sound made up, and what is it trying to sway our options about? What’s my rage supposed to be for this bait?

    ?? It's about the extension of the surveillance state to a new level? Though it's news, and the article is reporting on the incident that has created this news. Were you expecting something?

    Were there actually two juveniles? Did they really have ghost guns? Did this even happen?

    Verge has some reputation, so I guess it did. Are we going to descend into what's real? Because that's a different board.

    No it didn't. The humans paid to watch every ride in a Waymo called the cops.

    Yeah, "AI" is not intelligent enough to even come close to being able to recognize a problematic situation. Just like smart glasses have people doing a lot of the work behind what the glasses recognize or airport xray scanners have a person likely in another country looking at your fully naked bodies to indicate to the security people to let you go or do further patdowns. None of that kind of stuff is automated. Software developers to design that are way too expensive in the short term than hiring actual people at very low pay.
