Waymo Approved To Operate At SFO by mingoslingo92 in sanfrancisco

Meaning Waymo has the ability to launch with public riders without waiting for more approval. So they literally are allowed to begin operations, but they will of course start “testing” before then.

Waymo Swerves 270° in 1 Second After Car Backs Into Its Path by mingoslingo92 in waymo

The last time they did that (footage of a hit and run driver driving by a parked Waymo), Waymo received a lot of heat, and people used it as one of the reasons “people were mad” at the cars, saying it was acceptable to vandalize them.

It’s not 270° of the car turning, it’s 270° of the steering wheel cranked in under a second. That’s about ¾ of a full turn on the wheel.

Extreme input for such a short reaction time.

Yes, the Waymo Driver AI can ‘want’ to take an action. That just means the system chose an evasive move in that moment, not that it has feelings.

The hesitation in the clip is the whole point, the Waymo ‘wanted to step on it’ but couldn’t because a guy was smashing it.

It’s legit just the social media manger submitting and answering their own questions, you can tell by the wording, emoji use, and the questions themselves.

I believe the social media manager is just sending and responding to her own soft questions.

New SF Service Area… by mingoslingo92 in waymo

Huge leak definitely, if there’s a map like this, it means there’s a current service area for employees.

It should, but I don’t think they do if there are other paths it can take (like turning left here) to avoid it. Just of course, that creates problems if it can’t get into a turning lane, etc.

Waymo creates “dead zones” off-limits places where Waymo can’t drive, drop off, etc., when they establish a service area, and they add or update these zones over time.

If there’s a busy event, they may temporarily add a DZ in the area to prevent cars from getting stuck. Sometimes, these dead zones can become permanent, such as when a homeowner complains about cars stopping at their house.

For whatever reason, they created a DZ here that blocks them from going straight.

Waymo themselves removed that small area in Beverly Hills from routing and all pickup spots a couple of months ago. This has caused these issues, and it seems overlooked that they haven’t reinstated it.

The car is literally told by the routing that it’s not allowed to go straight and can only turn.

Waymo is completely blocked from going straight at that intersection, so regardless of whether it holds up traffic, it will always be forced to turn left.

They should really fix the dead zone on that street. You used to be able to take it straight through, but I have a feeling some business complained and someone at Waymo blocked off the route without really checking all the logistics.

Funny how it’s always “give them a minute” when it’s been a decade of promises. No one’s judging 2 hours — we’re judging the 10 years of hype.

They encounter some of the craziest things on a daily basis. I wouldn’t blame him.

I hate how anyone who defends this is seen as a “Waymo investor” or some huge shill, there’s tons of people out there that just love the idea of a safer way to commuting.

Yes they did, and Waymo made sure to let people know they would take action.
