> a fully self-driving car remains stubbornly just over the horizon

Someone should let Waymo, Zoox, Pony.ai, Apollo Go, and even Tesla know!

[joshribakoff]

I let them know today — when i laid on my horn while passing a Waymo stopped at a green light blocking the left turn lane — with its right blinker on.

Re: Tesla, this company paid me nearly $250,000 under multiple lemon law claims for their “self driving” software issues i identified that affected safety.

We all know what happened with Cruise, which was after i declared myself constructively dismissed.

I think the characterization in the article is fair, “self driving” is not quite there yet.

I need to ask because I'm curious, are you using em-dashes ironically, habitually from the Before Times, or did you run your comment through chatgpt first? Or have I been brainwashed into emdash == AI always?

[lovecg]

They’re putting spaces around the em-dashes which is—believe it or not—incorrect usage. ChatGPT doesn’t put in spaces. (I’m annoyed by this since I learned about em-dashes long before AI and occasionally use them in writing, which now gets me an occasional AI accusation)

Not the whole world has the same typographic conventions. To me omitting the word separator across a symbol designed to separate half-way sentences seems wrong.

[belZaah]

They know. There’s a big difference being able to navigate the 80% of everyday driving situations and doing the 20% most people manage just fine but cars struggle with. There’s a road in these parts: narrow, twisty in three dimensions, unmarked, trees close to the road. Gets jolly slippery in the winter. I can drive that road in the middle of the night in sleet. Can an autonomous car?

[enos_feedler]

i think it can figure it out.

[forgetfreeman]

Yes but why should it?

[1718627440]

Because that's the requirement to be allowed to drive on a public road.

[kristjansson]

Part of the points of fallacies one and four is that a human can get out of the car and walk into work as a CPA or whatever, while even the autonomous-ish offerings of Waymo et al don’t necessarily advance the ball on other domains

[kortilla]

Waymo doesn’t drive on highways and needs huge break in periods to even expand its boundaries in cities it’s already operating in.

[samtp]

Way to argue a sentence out of context that has very little to do with the overall post.

[another_twist]

Someone should let the rest of this pack know. Waymo is in a different league.

I honestly didnt understand the arguments. Could someone TLDR please ?
