General Motors, Ford and other established automakers risk becoming relics if they don’t catch up to Chinese carmakers and technology companies in electric vehicles and self-driving cars.

      At least theres a human to be responsible though, in most places with mandatory insurance.

      Personally, I think waymo should be allowed to operate, but each car should be tied to someones ownership/ liscence (ie the CEO’s) and that it should come with an automatic guilty / full at fault in any accident or incident.

      Agreed. I’ve also seen a lot of hits (and sometimes runs ) in San Francisco. I haven’t seen a Waymo hit anyone yet and they have been able to navigate people parallel parking on the street. Waymos are not the best but they haven’t hit anyone and def know how to drive better than the average person in the city.

        It’s the lidar, my dude. If musk hadn’t demanded those be ripped out then Teslas wouldn’t be such absolute shite at driving with their lame cameras.

        It’s

        waymo > human > Tesla
        

        When it comes to average driving skill.
