Not able to handle what the streets of Los Angeles throw at it, however.

I don't think human drivers would be much better at handling getting torched by mobs.

Maybe if the Waymo deployed an inflatable dummy passenger people would be like "oh there's someone in that car, better not torch it"?

And yet human drivers keep using the LA streets, including human taxi drivers, while Waymo has paused.
