Waymo Under Investigation for Driverless Car Crashes and Traffic Violations
The NHTSA is probing Google-supported Waymo regarding crashes caused by its driverless taxi program and underperforming self-driving tech.
As expected, Waymo deflects responsibility for the crash, as if no human driver has ever encountered a car being towed.
A situation a human would have easily navigated.
This whole alpha testing driverless vehicles on the public road is bullshit.
I mean, Waymo should definitely be held accountable and take responsibility for this accident, as it is something most human drivers would easily drive around. Them trying to blame it on other things is bullshit.
That being said, Waymos' driverless cars are already much safer than the average human driver.
The alpha testing on public roads is a bit iffy, but idk how well they would be able to really QA test in a closed environment. Personally, I'm more concerned with sharing the road with many terrible human drivers that we already are forced to do. The faster we can get the driverless thing going, the better off we will be.
