02/20/2025 - 10:55 PMi love it! I prefer Waymo over Uber/Lyft ! Never an issue and cheaper

02/20/2025 - 10:55 PMI believe Hyundai has something called the ioniq 5 where a young lady has won herself and I do believe it's a self-driving car and the reason why she has one is because she's blind and cannot see it all. If I had one question mark I would do the same thing Abbott drive me around everywhere so that I can actually use it to the best of my ability, however somebody's going to have to train me on how to use it and to show me how it actually works!

02/20/2025 - 10:55 PMFrewways are certainly the easiest exercise for an AI.
@KenFromchicago
02/20/2025 - 10:55 PMYes, you CAN compensate for other human driver mistakes and machines can do so BETTER without blindspotss or distractions like eating, shaving, tying a tie, doing makeup, talking on the phone, etc., and with faster reaction times. The catch is detecting and responding to dangers smoothly enough so passengers aren't bouncing around seats or dealing unusual obstacles (animal carcase or garbage dropped on the road or weirdly shaped pothole).

02/20/2025 - 10:55 PMI’m just curious I used to be a limo driver. I had a person to pass out nonresponsive in the back of my car. What would happen if that exact same scenario old happened in a Waymo car or one of these other autonomous driving cars?
@cweed
02/20/2025 - 10:55 PMThe incident this video cites as an issue (driving into a parade route) was neither an accident nor dangerous. They are really desperate to make Waymo seem controversial
@redeye007
02/20/2025 - 10:55 PMWhat happens if the car need to be charged?
@Atilla-m9i
02/20/2025 - 10:55 PMHave Waymo search local, state and federal websites for upcoming events to assist in detecting parades.
@Love_Steven_Q
02/20/2025 - 10:55 PMI LOVE WAYMO!!!
@clahzee30
02/20/2025 - 10:55 PMPlease bring Waymo to Boston..
@wHaTsThIsThInGdO
02/20/2025 - 10:55 PMIn about five years, they’ll have a flawless driving algorithm so that’s something to look forward too

02/20/2025 - 10:55 PMcars from Indian companies are also good and manufactured in Austria

02/20/2025 - 10:55 PMJust my opinion that Waymo should not drive on a freeway. Rode to a restaurant on Waymo a few weeks ago and the vehicle took an unusual route and had to back up on the street because of truck blocking its path.

02/20/2025 - 10:55 PMSo no one cares about the people who drive to make a living transporting you guys from place to place,but only about you having i guess some dream perfect ride, and company profit. Making sure I got that right?
@re-tire985
02/20/2025 - 10:55 PMWe love Waymos in AZ
@vanessaphd
02/20/2025 - 10:55 PMTook my first Waymo this morning but on the streets not freeway. It was so cool!
@robs85gmc
02/20/2025 - 10:55 PMSaw one run a stop sign at Scottsdale Fashion, didn't slow down at all.
@Dereyter
02/20/2025 - 10:55 PMIt is noy safety. It is called control and restrictions.
@markplott4820
02/20/2025 - 10:55 PMCBS mornings – never mind that WAYMO cars cost $250,000 each and its not SCALEABLE.
@markplott4820
02/20/2025 - 10:55 PMCBS mornings – FALSE , Waymo uses human drivers with Remote software.
WAYMO is a big fat LIE.
@kairi4640
02/20/2025 - 10:55 PMImagine if everyone just took waymo or some other driverless taxi to the airports. That would be crazy. Less traffic from bad driving, less congestion since the cars would return back to their base etc.
Even better if they start mastering drone cars.
@TanSpaceX
02/20/2025 - 10:55 PMIf driverless cars are safer than human drivers (by 72%), why be a backseat driver? 😂
