Yet another case of the poor funneling their money to the 1%.
The working class pays local taxes to fund the police and the fire department. The 1% make money by operating on a business model that relies on these taxpayer funded services to unfuck their product out of fucked situations. Thus the taxpayers unwillingly subsidize the 1% with their tax money. As such, the taxpayer funded services degrade because the fire department/police department have to babysit a private company’s products instead of attending to business they’re actually paid to do.
But this was not an isolated incident. Waymo has relied on taxpayer-funded first responders to navigate its vehicles when they encounter issues
This should be more than enough reason to cancel their operating permit (whatever it is called) immediately.
Do you think normal cars don’t occasionally break down in the middle of traffic and need to be moved out of the way by cops?
Normal cars don’t do that (or maybe statistically next to never).
Think yourself: there would have been no news at all here if these cars did it as rarely as normal cars.
I thought Waymo was the one using overseas drivers to help when needed?
I’m looking forward to the schadenfreude when all this stupid “AI” shit finally blows up.
I thought Waymo …
It is complicated…
