Comment Comment by MBCook > The problem here is that safety and throughput are at odds. Waymo chose safety while most drivers chose throughput.Did they? They chose their safety. I suspect the net effect of their behavior made the safety of everyone worse.They did such a bad job of handling it people had to go around them, making things less safe.We know what people are like. Not everyone is OK doing 2-3 mph for extended time waiting for a Waymo to feel “safe”.Operating in a way that causes large numbers of other drivers to feel the need to bypass you is fundamentally worse. parent MBCook 10 months ago
