The car has no feelings, and all the driving glitches provide useful feedback for the developers to improve future performance.

That is the most hilarious comment!!!! 🤣

There are these things called people that will drive rideshare on these apps for almost no money. Even provide a car with them.

tbh the cars could just need a slow assisted passenger driving mode ^^ or even allow to exit the vehicle and remote control it slowly arround an obstacle... so u exit steer it arround (it self makes sure u dont hit something...) when ur done u get back in and press the contenue ride button ... and done

Insurance and liability is the reason

@@luxaly9510Yeah ok, they’re gonna give people remote control acces to a Jaguar. 🤣🤣🤣

cant u read? slow and still assisted u basically can not fuck up cause it wont let u do anything crazy@@jezziemalvada3840

Like amazon drivers arent already inconveniencing everyone else, and the true asshole here is that illegally parked truck.

there was enough space even for that amazon van @@yeahnoway111

@@yeahnoway111 Don’t order then. Keep crying ;)

lol though people will know it is a self driving vehicle because of what the outside of the car has in order to function.

Strange to me that they haven't got a team of drivers that can remotely connect and take over the car using a VR headset

@@oriolopocholo they could use a vr headset, it's just another device. But they don't need it at Waymo; a computer screen does the job just fine. They don't "take over" the car remotely, they give it a command to drive a certain way, then the car does the driving. The phone network is too unreliable and laggy to remotely drive a car.

@@charliedoyle7824 To be honest 5G Is perfectly capable of driving cars real-time

@@oriolopocholo I think the delay might be a bit too risky for full manual control.

​@@oriolopocholoI'm pretty sure it's not legal for them to do that

i think uncontrolled intersections are automatically treated as stops in their software. pretty sure it's done for safety reasons.

​@@wadssthat's totally fair

Good point though there’s one later on with clear right of way

Yea, her deep Californian accent and answers seemed like a tech support scammer ;). But the car did performed quite well if it was autonomous. Driving rules will have to change for this to work anyways.

I'm pretty sure most of the driving is done without the assistance of the internet and just gps + mapping data. obviously calling the robot taxi requires internet, as well as the calling thing (though that might just use the regular cell network)

I agree, that is hard to understand. I guess it is because Waymo believes this is a way to reduce the use of roadside assistance and ultimately reduce Waymo's costs. I think they don't care much about wasting the time of their rider support, since that service is remote and cheap. But their roadside assistance is local and expensive, so it's something Waymo is trying to reduce and ultimately eliminate, even if it makes their team look disjointed. It's okay that rider support has no idea what is going on and no ability to control it, since the goal is for Waymo is to get by without roadside assistance. Their thinking is that forcing Waymos to deal with difficult situations, like getting stuck in an alley, will ultimately reduce roadside assistance to virtually nothing. Is that where it ends? Will Waymos ultimately handle all but the most serious accidents without contacting roadside assistance? It seems like they might. For example, if a Waymo hits a cyclist who accelerates in the occluded area of a truck (as already occurred in SF) can that Waymo return to work as soon as it reports the accident to their insurance company, just like a human driver could? Yeah, that is where they appear to be headed.

It’s completely free in LA for now - just need to get an access code from them. Don’t know when they will be allowed to charge money

Nope not a stop sign.

yeah, so then it kinda is a map error..

Same but waymo in my opinion is more impressive to me. In waymo you can literally sleep and the car will do it's thing driving safely. in a Tesla you 100% need to sit in the driver seat all the time and need to take over if it decides to do something crazy. The fact that waymo let's their car drive with no one being there to take over is so impressive. Waymo is also training now on the highway which is impressive. Tesla is still good tho no hate on Tesla but I like waymo more

​​@@pennytrui1149 1 big diffference though. Consumer can buy a Tesla. And the Tesla can do 99% of what a Waymo can do. Thats more than good enough for consumers. No one can buy a Waymo. With all the sensors and radars on the waymo, it is expected to be better than a Tesla, but v12 would have gone around the truck without problem.

​@Cu_Ty_Pro no one can buy a waymo, but in the future the vastly superior technology will likely be licensed to other major vehicle manufacturers. And no, it can't do "99%" of what waymo can do. Laughable.

@@xh0n3ybadg3r I would say FSD V12 can do more than what Waymo can, but with less success.

@@Cu_Ty_Pro i agree with everything except that Tesla wouldn't have gotten pass that truck. Waymo uses lidar which can calculate detail better then a camera can down to the centimeter. Waymo knows what it can and can't squeeze through. Also waymo is kinda a wide car not as slim as the Tesla but even then it resolved the issue by itself.
