"Waymo" is the name of the inventor, Victor Waymo, not the name of the car. The car is properly named Waymo's Monster.

Once again, it turns out “fully autonomous” means “a guy in the Philippines.”
It Turns Out Waymos Are Being Controlled by Workers in the Philippines
During a Congressional hearing, Waymo's chief safety officer, Mauricio Peña, was grilled over the company's reliance on overseas workers.

Waymo's success is remarkable proof of the power of AI. It's also remarkable proof of its limitations. Waymo's need for limited domains and powerful perception hardware, and the failure of Tesla's "AI-first" approach without them, holds powerful lessons about the limits of probabilistic inference.
It's fascinating to me that there's a whole "AI skeptic" misinformation ecosystem out there that somehow continues to deny that Waymo exists. Like, this is easy to fact check! Waymo runs publicly-available service in 5 cities, you can just go look up how it works and see it's not planned routes!
![A bluesky post with the user's handle cropped out: "In 2015, I was told, confidently, that AI would end human drivers in the trucking industry w/in 5 years.
[Begin my highlight]10 years later, and there’s what-some experimental cabs rolling around a few cities in heavily-engineered preset routes?[end my highlight]
Not to mention the fact that the AI industry itself is Enron on heroin."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4jjekvbxopsdtmezsmycpveb/bafkreigx2n5lhggsvw7swptrklsf5ocp4vwzpufcpuccj5qaxhdqaipf4a)

Autonomous vehicles aren’t cutting traffic. They’re likely adding to it, just like Uber & Lyft, because of “deadheading.”
“Waymo’s miles driven with a passenger onboard reached around 56% and then plateaued. So about 44% of Waymo’s driven miles are conducted with empty EVs.” Via @arstechnica.com

Autonomous vehicles were supposed to cut traffic—what if they don't?
Data shows Waymo's robotaxis are empty for almost half of the miles they drive.

Waymo’s robotaxis keep blocking bike lanes.
It’s emblematic of a bigger problem. When passenger convenience and public safety conflict, robotaxi companies will favor the former.

Why Are Waymos Still Blocking Bike Lanes?
Waymo's robotaxis are marketed as dramatically safer than human drivers. But persistent bike lane incursions reveal an uncomfortable tradeoff: when safety and convenience collide, which one wins?
