That's a hell of a goalpost move. And anyway the accountability issue was already brought up. See https://sh.itjust.works/comment/22111884
Waymo "presumably" paying for what they destroy isn't the same as saying yes, they will 100%. Its pure speculation.
And its not a goalpost move, driving puts you and everyone else at risk humans have been tested and insured to drive. This thing is like in BETA version.
@BD89@lemmy.sdf.org Yes, it's a beta by some definitions of that but they've been very slow and careful with the rollout process and have achieved a very low accident rate as far as I can tell. I'd be much more worried about Tesla's Robotaxi efforts...
