They’re only following the Norm theory (rest in peace), helping us kill the dummies so as a specie we grow intellectually
I believe that was a Cliff theory.
I stand corrected! Need to rewatch the whole show now
Waymo, which I think grew out of the original Google self-driving car project, has been operating robo-taxis for several years. They're available in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and a few more cities. I wonder how they did on the schoolbus test. Not able to find anything online about that. They use different car manufacturers from China, UK, Germany, and it looks like one of them (Jaguar Land Rover) is owned or partly owned by Ford. So data about the individual cars is kind of hard to track down.
Atlanta is the latest launch city, they are all white Jaguar i-Paces.
Waymo had non-standard stop-signs figured out six years ago XD Feels essential to running a half-way responsible autonomous car service?
So it's working as intended, if everyone is scared of walking or driving with those killer-taxis roaming around, some people will be tricked into hiding inside the killer-robo-taxis.
The only way that you can stop a crazy-killer-robo-taxi is to have your own craxy-killer-robo-taxi.
Craxy-killer-robo-taxi don't kill people... Oh wait, they do.
Luckily you can sabotage a robot car the same way you can sabotage a normal car. Actually there's more ways than a normal car.

If that photo is from the actual test, Cheesus Sliced...
There's so little going on for video to pick up on apart from overcoming folage texture.
