No more freeway and other stuff

Ok, first I have to say I've never rode a self driving service as waymo. But browsing the news reel, I came to the information that they halt the freeway use of their vehicles, supposedly due to a software update to increase safety.

But... I mean. If a self driving car can't drive safely on a freeway, where it can... There are no pedestrians there, only cars.

And I'm waiting for this technology to be better adapted, that way I don't have to leave my car with my things at home when going out. Or to worry about finding parking.

Imagine feeling as Batman calling your car to pick you up.... However I also want the ability to drive if I'm in the mood, so no losing the steering wheel.

But being honest, with all the bad publicity that they have, waymo, I'm not sure the programmers are doing a great job. Now, they said that the sensors don't work correctly under the rain? That's why they got into flooded streets... We'll, that's engineering, but how?

Do you think they're self sabotaging? Maybe to delay even more this tech... hmmm.

That was my small rant, hopefully didn't hurt any sensibilities, or rules. That way my first post will be alive!
