I can see why it’s a spicy headline but we should appreciate a human override capability.
Hopefully waymo is forced into transparency about this. Transparency 100% fully clear on when the tech runs into a variety of situations including humans intervening.
That should be a mandatory for them to have the licensing necessary to operate autonomous vehicles anywhere in public spaces.
After all, they are learning on the public’s dime and at the public’s risk. We have to know if it’s truly better and what kind of new risks are created that weren’t otherwise anticipated.
They are transparent about it. A user here has ridden in them and they have signs in the car that say this and they’re is a button to request it if the car is stuck someplace.
Theyre validating the driving works. They wont be monitoring every car forever. Once they have enough data and statistical significance, theyll be able to reduce the monitoring level. Right now, its basically a safety feature

If you have a human watching the driving closely enough to override it… why not just have them do the driving?
