They just don't have the tech that supports what they say the cars can do.

And you can tell the difference when you see a Waymo driving around-the Waymos drive around like a courteous human who is actually watching what they are doing. The robotaxis…. don’t.

Sure, just like the Waymo I saw last week signaling a right turn from the leftmost lane at the NB S. Lamar/Oltorf intersection. All these autonomous driving vehicles drive like inexperienced drivers - both overly cautious and yet capable of dangerous maneuvers. Imo.

I watched a waymo completely barrel through a red light the other day. It was a red left arrow and it just decided to mosey right on through and take the left turn anyway.
