As I've mentioned on another thread, I just wish Waymo drove faster. They often don't keep up with the pace of traffic.

Maybe it is the traffic that is wrong? Vehicle-induced injury and death is still a huge issue, and marginal speed increases make no difference to overall trip times.
No thanks. I want self-driving cars to obey traffic laws. It's bad enough people are incompetent.
One of the best things about Waymo vs Uber and Lyft is that they drive smooth and comfortable, they aren’t zooming around between every stoplight and making me carsick.
Yeah I think you have to change the traffic laws for that to happen.

AFAIK, they strictly follow the speed limit, which feels too slow when everyone else is speeding.

IMHO we should start enforcing speed limits.
As they say, if you have to tell people to slow down, you designed your road wrong.
