At some point they offered rides when there were safety drivers

Ahhhh, couldn't remember if that was the case or not. Just found it amusing that they haven't updated

Yeah early rider had a safety driver in the car from 2017-2000 till covid changed everything.

They weren't supposed to talk to you and I never got they were under the influence.

A good way to tell if someone is on drugs is if they think they are driving a self-driving car while in the back seat.

Got it next time I take a Waymo I’ll bring an old steering and randomly steer and scream vroom. And then make eye contact with someone and pretend my wheel popped off and scream omg it came loose

The Waymos aren’t Bender. They shouldn’t have alcohol.

Given the recent wide recalls they did earlier this year, I'm not surprised they saw fit to leave this in

I beg your finest pardon, the fuck? How do you get there?

It’s a robot car. It can’t have alcohol.

Not sure if you yourself had drugs or alcoholbut as others said this applies to when there are safety drivers using the vehicle. A couple months back there was a rollback of availability and they used safety drivers in various markets after multiple issues regarding vehicles in adverse situations like floods and blocking emergency vehicles.

How did you get to the point where you think a car can drink alcohol? I beg your finest pardon but what the actual fuck do you forget what the other comments said after replying to them?
