... Yes.
So, weight is a good thing on all but the deepest snow. So that's a plus. EVs actually do have a lot of pluses for off-roading and harsh weather, they have all the hardware required to do it well, but the software is evidently half-baked on this one.
If I were an automotive engineer and I wanted to fix that shitty performance, I'd start by troubleshooting the traction control system.
Why would a police officer on federal property need 3x rifle magazines and 3x pistol magazines to arrest a congressional aide? That's, what, 135 bullets or so?
Was he expecting the whole congressional staff to bum rush him and he needed to shoot his way out?
LOL.
*Were in service, comrade. Were.
That feels... very responsible?
I mean, we probably shouldn't concern ourselves TOO much with the profitability of a Google subsidiary and the pet project of the world's richest man. I think they'll figure out the monetization side of things. We should be laser focused on safety, which Waymo is certainly doing to a much higher degree than Tesla.
Someone else mentioned that over on Reddit, in a very clapback sort of way. Would you happen to be in Texas? I'm learning all about regional traffic law variations :D
So, my thought here: the stop sign is simply not recognized by the vehicle. It didn't see the stop sign and decide "legally, I have the right of way." The stop sign just doesn't appear on the visualization, cameras failed to register the blinking lit up sign, and thus the computer thought it had the right of way.
As a separate critical fuckup, it only realized the pedestrian was a pedestrian like a millisecond before impact. It wasn't a good test performance at all.
Having worked in construction, I can report, you can totally still do this!
... One time per phone, unfortunately.

I award you the dubious honor of "Best Pun on the Thread"
Waymo had non-standard stop-signs figured out six years ago XD Feels essential to running a half-way responsible autonomous car service?

It's 100% on brand.
