Here we go. Autonomous vehicles are now mowing down cyclists.

I hope that Waymo's insurance is good!

How do you ensure all human drivers and good ones and not distracted? That's roads I want to be on. If you know how to do that countries around the world want to hear from you.

Waymo actually seems very cautious. It's was actually a known issue especially at the start. You can also programme it to be cautious at certain points.

We are talking self driving cars, think waymo. We are not talking about lane assist, what Tesla does is irrelevant. I was also on about thr tech when it's more developed, but right now at this moment in time it is already safer than drivers in the US.
