Wapo journalist verifies that robotaxis fail to stop for pedestrians in marked crosswalk 7 out of 10 times. Waymo admitted that it follows "social norms" rather than laws.

The reason is likely to compete with Uber, 🤦

Waymo is running driverless (or at least remote monitored) taxis all over SF. that's why they're getting headlines, they're out and being used at scale.

Tesla are also used at scale, while sold as "autopilot" (it's not).

Teslas scan not legally be driverless. Whatever happens is the drivers fault.

But yes, I remember the same thing, being amazed they intentionally don’t come to a complete stop at stop signs. That may be how the world works these days but it shouldn’t

afaik, the waymo always respected stops and tesla had to remove the rolling stop feature.
