And the stock went up, right?

Either these "safety drivers" are staying, making the whole operation ridiculously expensive or they go, plunging the service into abject chaos. This is fun to watch from far away.

Buy Waymo stock?

Fuck Reddit and fuck Spez.

They rushed this shit out so they could be "first" to make line go up to compensate for Nazi Muskrat dragging them down with him. Unsurprisingly, they fucked up and are endangering people in the process.

They can't even meet the bar that other companies have gotten to with self-driving tech lol

Pretty bold to have launched in a city that already has a functional driverless cab service, and with people that now have expectations of something good. I don’t know how delusional they must be to think they will compare well to Waymo.

That site sucks (Checking if your "connection" is "secure")

    Robotaxi drives into oncoming lane
    Rider presses “pull over”, Robotaxi stops in the middle of an intersection, rider gets out while Robotaxi blocks intersection for a few moments
    Rider presses pull over and the car just stopped in the middle of the road. Safety monitor has to call rider support to get car moving again
    Robotaxi doesn’t detect UPS driver’s reverse lights (or the car reversing towards it) and continues to attempt to park, then safety monitor manually stops it
    Robotaxi cuts off a car, then randomly brakes (potentially because of an upcoming tree shadow?)
    Robotaxi going 26 in a 15
    Robotaxi unexpectedly brakes, possibly due to nearby police
    Robotaxi unexpectedly slams on brakes, causing rider to drop phone
    Robotaxi comes to a complete stop after approaching an object, then runs it over (rider says it’s a shopping bag, though the car visibly bump up and down)
    Robotaxi runs over curb in parking lot
    Safety driver moved to driver seat to intervene

This is the funniest part for me

There are reportedly around ten Robotaxis running in Austin right now.

Maybe we this just means that the public streets are more free-game for random experiments than we thought!

Fuck Reddit and fuck Spez.

Waymo already beat them to it in the robo taxi area
