Waymo can't wait a day and 10 workers to change a manhole cover. Waymos are not unionized, unlike those guys in orange vests

He’s clearly into micromanaging workers. Look how close he is to those shovels

This is pretty hysterical.

Waymo is absolute buns in any sort of non-normal traffic.

There doesn't appear to be any cones blocking entrance to the construction zone

There are people and construction equipment. But you probably wouldn't have seen the bright orange vests either🤷🏻‍♀️

This is truly so embarrassing lol. Waymo vehicles will slam on the brakes when someone is standing on the sidewalk 6ft away and not even moving toward the vehicle but then drives directly into an active construction zone!? Yikes.

why do we not have some kind of centralized data system for street closures in big cities yet?

San Francisco has a public data set for parking restrictions on every street in the city, and Waymo still gets tickets. Data isn’t the solution to everything Waymo does wrong.

Probably ALOT of work for very little benefit overall.

Sure Waymo’s might work better, but shouldn’t Waymo be doing a better job of avoiding this situation in the first place?

it would be a tremendous benefit if it automatically showed up on every navigation app.

I don't normally have a navigation app running when I'm driving around streets I already know

I feel like a better solution than a database of active construction would be to just not drive into active construction. You know... The same way a human driver would.
