[@billholt1448]

I recently rented a car that had some of the new fangled driver support features… none of which I have ever had or used. After a few day, I started playing with some of the options… Speed Control, worked as expected; Proximity Detection, kept me a safe [selectable] distance from vehicle in front of me, although had glitches where it would scare the hell out of me…approaching an intersection, with traffic slowing and following distance reduces, then vehicle in front [quickly] shifts to left turn lane, my vehicle now sees LOTS of clear space ahead and ACCELERATES towards the traffic ahead… That is stopped for the red light !!! … causes seatbelt test! The best though… is Lane Control, that I found great for long straight roads, but found out it simply turns itself OFF on somewhat curvy roads… of course it turns itself OFF right in the middle of a curve and IMMEDIATELY thinks going straight is a good way of letting you know it’s time for you to pay attention. Having that experience makes me think I might not be comfortable in a totally automatous taxi.

Occasionally I check in on Waymo passenger videos. I live in SF, so I see them all the time, and I have the app, but I still stick to transit to save money. I might change that since they keep expanding the fleet and dropping prices though. It's in a different class from the Tesla FSD videos where they are still talking about how many times the human driver had to intervene. I feel totally confident that a Waymo will make safe moves.

My 5 year old Tesla drives itself between cities now. Anywhere in the US (and possibly Canada - haven’t tried that yet). And it can go more than 40mph.

[@Dave-ei7kk]

@@pennytrui1149 Don’t both Waymo and Cruise have operations centers staffed 24/7 that can remotely control their “driverless” cars when they get into trouble. That is one of the many reasons that they can only operate in limited geographic areas that offer good remote connectivity for the drivers. In Tesla’s case they rely on the owner to supervise the driving behavior of the car so they don’t have that limitation. In reality I think both systems are supervised. But you can buy a Tesla with Full Self Driving in the $40K range and it will function even on new roads that haven’t been mapped. And as we know, roads are changing all the time. That ability to read the road without a high definition map to serve as a guide is way more sophisticated than you can imagine. My Tesla drove me 36 miles today without me having to touch the steering wheel. That included city streets, highways @ 70mph in traffic, and avoiding bicyclists, pedestrians and construction barriers in the roadways. I live in the Minneapolis, MN area, not California. Waymo was not an option. If you’re really interested in this topic and not just a troll you might want to tune into the Tesla event being held on 10/10/2024 where they will unveil more about their robotaxi deployment plans.

[@marymaclaren9553]

Fleets of Waymos with drivers mapped the city for a solid year, if not more, 24 hours a day. Information on the company was pretty limited, creeped a lot of people out. There are still issues, but nowhere near as its' competitor, Cruise. They were a disaster. One drove into a very active construction zone. A lane, running the length of an entire city block, with multiple cones, barriers, electronic signs, trucks and many workers in vests, it maneuvered around all of that and drove into freshly poured concrete. Not too soon after, one hit a pedestrian and their permits were suspended.

[@whatusernameis5295]

​@@joeberanek6653why? the issues in the comment you are replying to don't even pertain to EVs

[@damonhtoo]

None of that matters since both Cruise and Waymo have significantly better driving records per mile driven than human drivers. Is not even close. Also, the Cruise vehicle that hit the pedestrian wasn't being controlled autonomously. A remote human driver had taken over.

[@marymaclaren9553]

​@@damonhtoo Let me preface this with I am pretty indifferent when it comes to Waymo. I personally have not seen anything egregious from their cars. Although recently there have been rumblings of Waymo playing with their reported accident numbers. And I do side eye when they 'rest' they pull minimally over to the curb on a narrow street, with all lights out at 4am. I work overnights and see their odd parking. Cruise on the other hand. You may even have an answer to this, but I have to wonder what the breakdown is of how many cars were on the streets and at what time of day and when the majority of their reported accidents occurred. Because I would see far more Cruise cars out and about at low traffic times of night than peak times during the day. Yeah, human driver errors. I'm partial to taking cabs and it is still very common to see Ubers and Lyfts going the wrong way on a oneway street.

[@damonhtoo]

The steering wheel is controlled by a powerful motor and it's unlikely you would be able to move it. But if you could, the car would pull over, end your ride, and you'd likely not be allowed to ride again.
