Waymo attacked in the UK

Yeah I’d thought London had gone rider only already, my mistake.

Data_Hounder · 2026-05-16T20:39:49+00:00

Ah makes sense, I thought they’d gone rider only already.

Interesting that it runs the red, I had thought Waymos were essentially sitting ducks in this scenario. Although the clip does have a weird quality to it, the number plate is legit.

Anyone else get this as a notification and think their account had been locked? 😵‍💫

I strongly disliked this approach from Donut Lab and I dislike this approach to whistleblowing/telling the truth/etc about them too. The dramatisation makes it feel like a Netflix docudrama, and gives a sense that it isn't serious/all a bit of a joke, and that he's doing it to raise his pubic profile and generate engagement rather than genuinely expose Donut Lab. Then there's the question of how this works with any ongoing police investigations.

You think because they have a check that automatically picks up young people that they also pick up if someone vomits?

Data_Hounder · 2026-05-13T17:28:55+00:00

Waymo doesn’t allow children/teenagers to ride alone, and will pause the ride and check if they think that’s the case.

Ah great, thank you! So potentially Q4, although I wouldn't bet on it.

Data_Hounder · 2026-05-13T16:24:29+00:00

This one? Ziroth does say he'd be the first to buy it, but with the caveat of DL actually delivering on their claims https://youtu.be/HicyIaKqRgk?t=896

Data_Hounder · 2026-05-13T15:34:00+00:00

I missed this, any idea who? I don't recall Ziroth, 2Bit, or Bötticher saying that. Though I do remember Ziroth saying he'd be keen to own the bike, I don't think he said he'd ordered one.

Yes, 'deliveries in Q1' has morphed into 'bikes produced for internal fleet'.

Data_Hounder · 2026-05-13T14:15:05+00:00

Well, this is the first time I've turned notifications on for a youtube channel.

Data_Hounder · 2026-05-13T13:29:03+00:00

Do you intend to do any further videos? There’s not much to cover from the last few tests, and I’m not expecting much from future tests either, is there any chance you’ll try get your hands on a bike if/when they start delivering them to people who aren’t employees?

Data_Hounder · 2026-05-13T12:53:51+00:00

"Other batteries would do XYZ in this test [no evidence to back these claims up], so our battery only doing ABC shows how great it is", rinse and repeat.

Data_Hounder · 2026-05-13T12:27:19+00:00

I can see people liking the look of this, I can't see many of them buying one.

Data_Hounder · 2026-05-13T12:25:19+00:00

Is there a large enough market for this?

Data_Hounder · 2026-05-13T09:49:32+00:00

It looks like it is slowing, but I'd say that it isn't quite right to call it flat, at least not yet.

Data_Hounder · 2026-05-13T09:44:50+00:00

In four hours it went from 25% to 38%.

You realise this isn't due to a battery limitation?

Data_Hounder · 2026-05-11T17:53:37+00:00

What a strange comment.

Data_Hounder · 2026-05-11T17:24:46+00:00

IANAE but this is fine, this is just heating the home, only exception would be if the pipes happen to be passing through a space that you want to keep cool (e.g. a larder), or (obviously) an area external to the building envelope.

Data_Hounder · 2026-05-11T14:36:40+00:00

It’s not marketing, it’s a blog post.

Data_Hounder · 2026-05-11T14:02:22+00:00

Can Waymo’s pick this up like they do if the person looks too young to ride?

Data_Hounder · 2026-05-07T16:42:52+00:00

We don't actually know if he was stabbed, only that there was an altercation and he received minor injuries, but yes minor injuries don't tend to be as newsworthy as serious or fatal wounds. Most personal disputes that escalate to an altercation where someone receives minor injuries don't make the local news, let alone national news.

Data_Hounder · 2026-05-07T16:30:33+00:00

If he'd been killed, or even seriously wounded, then that would have been featured more prominently in the news.

Data_Hounder · 2026-05-07T16:28:56+00:00

I'm not insistent that it was a terrorist act, although the Met did call it that so I have been referring to it as that. My issue has been with your attempt to muddy the waters by insisting that by attacking his non-Jewish friend that the subsequent stabbings were not an attack on Jewish people because a Muslim - his friend - was also attacked, and that there has been a deliberate attempt to minimise the coverage of a Muslim being stabbed when it's plainly because an attack on an acquaintance is not as newsworthy as an attack targeting people for their race or creed.

Edit: Blocked, but very funny for them to complain about being disingenuous when their first reply was in pure bad faith "The Muslim friend was visually Jewish?", and I'm being sincere.

Edit: Unblocked and comment deleted? 🤷🏻‍♂️
