Ten years ago I was like “I will never get in a self driving car” I’m totally fine in Waymos. This came after spending a significant amount of time observing their behavior towards me as a pedestrian, the general “safety first” stance of the company and their actions following through on that,

And the details that fall out from that: their visualization of what the car sees when you’re inside one is far more clear than in Teslas, for example.

They can sometimes be momentarily annoying because they are *too* safe, they do not bend rules even if it were probably reasonable. But that’s actually the way I’d prefer it even if occasionally I’m like “as a human I’d probably bend slightly here”
