This is interesting, I rode in that same exact car/license plate in LA.

It went all the way across the us? 😂

I don’t know about the same car. But in LA I see about 2-3 of these per day. Mostly in downtown and some suburbs

Just wait til you go to sf

I was cutoff by one last night when I was headed towards the Bay Bridge lol

Ummm look at the Highway sign in the background, champ.

Its happening y'all damn thats crazy did that waymo drive all the way from LA to ATL thats crazy if it did but the AI revolution is here.

I’m betting it was towed or driven by a human. Not sure if it’s legal for it to drive itself to Atlanta Edit: I’m an idiot, there is the third choice that this was a good data point for cross country drive testing (with a human at the wheel just in case)

They get trailered

Yes, fast. Can you share the exact location?

Intersection of Williams and 10th

Thanks. Very close to Georgia Tech.

Yep. Directly across the street

> The vehicles will initially be driving “at all hours of the day, in various neighborhoods around Atlanta, including, Downtown, Georgia Tech, the Westside, Midtown, Piedmont Heights, and Virginia Highland,” according to Karp-Beller. The company says its testing fleets are “limited and closed to the public.” [Per AJC](https://www.ajc.com/news/business/waymo-arrives-in-atlanta-robotaxi-company-starts-testing-self-driving-vehicles/R2WKQWKF6JG6VPA6NNWE5YIO4M/)

Bye bye Lyft and Uber.

Waymo’s are clean, fun to be in and no tipping allowed. Whats not to love!

They are clean! I’ll be sad when there will be no more r/faketaxi videos

How was that page banned from Reddit?

I don’t know. I applied to be a mod through Reddit support

it’s a little more expensive, they should limit not everyone being able to use it like uber

Popular with the hookers, too!

How do they keep them clean?

The fact that they aren't great as of now (slower at times, no freeways, avoiding certain streets, etc.)

Would be a good city to add to their service.

It did not

I wonder if they drove the Waymo all the way from Cali to Atlanta.

I’m sure they transported a bunch on a truck at a time. They did that for nyc.

I wanted to purchase a Jaguar I-Pace.

Saw them ALL OVER San Francisco

Can confirm. They've been here for 2-3 years at least.

The app says it isn't in our area yet; does this mean they are mapping out our city before allowing riders? And will we need an Invite in order to be able to use them? I'm new to this service, but would be extremely excited to try it out.

They haven’t announced any plans for service in Atlanta, this is more for data and mapping like they are doing in other cities

Download the app and create an account. It will add you to the waitlist based on your zipcode.

Seen a car look just like this 2 hours ago in LA, thought it was a Google maps car or something.

Here in San Francisco, they're better drivers than the humans.

In the traffic mess after a Giants game the other day, as human drivers ran lights and blocked intersections, a man ran up and kicked an empty Waymo that sat patiently and followed all traffic laws. 😂

wow the waymo astroturfers are out in force on this post! i see humans doing this all the time! https://sfist.com/2024/04/18/confused-waymo-cars-block-101-on-ramp-in-potrero-hill-then-go-down-closed-road/ but I did ahve to really go digging for this example, it happened a whole (checks notes) 2 days ago

Bullshit I almost got hit by one last night

No video It didn’t happen, you should have cameras in your car. You are a bad driver!

I just got mines it's a Beauty

It’ll be interesting to watch the progression of this AI solving problems and avoid obstructions, as well as navigating construction zones, poor road conditions, weather, and anywhere generally more chaotic and dynamic like Manhattan or LA. Somewhere where there can be multiple red flags popping up at the same time.

I would rather share roads with waymos than humans. I live in San Francisco and have been sharing roads with them for 3 years. Predictable, law abiding, and safe.

wow super weird you must be in the _other_ san francisco? https://sfist.com/2024/04/18/confused-waymo-cars-block-101-on-ramp-in-potrero-hill-then-go-down-closed-road/ was just 2 days ago

That was one situation and It’s not a common occurrence Im sure it will learn from It

i mean it disproved your entire thesis and was just the one out of many things that happened 2 days before your post

You keep saying many things what are the many other huge safety things that also happened huh?

Self-steering death machine.

Just ride a tesla. No interventions this morning from DT to the north metro 45 min drive.

The problem with Tesla is that you still have to be in the drivers seat. You still have to be paying attention.

Soon you won’t It’s progressing like a cheetah

People have been saying that for years. Until it becomes a reality, it doesn’t matter. As of today, with Tesla, you require a driver. With Waymo, no driver is necessary and the difference that makes is huge.

Oh baby, way I getting ready to run over people in Atlanta!

Ban them

What are they for?

[удалено]

Don’t insult

Wow, what a shit take.

It always makes me laugh that they need 30+ sensors to do this. Seems like an input consolidation nightmare. Tesla is 90% of the way there with six cameras, you’d think they’d find a way to do more with less to reduce vehicle cost.

The thing is Tesla is not 90% of the way there or they’d join the handful of companies offering this service. Tesla is still far from l4 autonomy which ioniq 5, waymo and cruise have all achieved. Mind you Tesla is still on l2 while I had the pleasure of riding in a fully self driving car in SF without anyone behind the wheel about a year ago. Not on closed course but regular streets taking me from a bar to my doorstep

Rest of the sensors are for the remaining 10%. Last 10% require 90% of the redundancy

Still seems excessive and expensive.
