In the past two weeks in San Francisco, I have seen:

- Cruise car stopped dead in the middle of Oak street at Divisadero, at night, with no emergency lights on.

- Waymo car driven onto the sidewalk to pick up a passenger on Scott street at Haight street

- Waymo car stopped, blocking the whole road on Carmelita street because it started a 3 point turn and then decided it didn't have enough room to continue

- Cruise car swerving out in front of traffic from the kerb on Divisadero at Ellis street without signaling

I think we'll see more of this as AI matures.

It's getting more and more difficult to distinguish between human and AI drivers.

Next thing you know they'll be cursing at you using speakers

Admittedly, I don’t know what Waymo is (or Cruise for that matter) but if someone told me it was “Uber but they don’t rate their drivers” it would still sound about right as far as human drivers go.

Turing syndrome strikes again

At least they don't confuse gas and brake pedals und break through walls like senior drivers (yet).

For comparison, in the past day, Caltrain has killed two people in two separate incidents.

Two pedestrian strikes. Doesn’t seem like suicide has been ruled out yet.

Trains don’t just appear out of nowhere, their trajectory is quite predictable and well documented. If there is a collision it’s pretty hard to blame the train.

humans do this stuff too, its just far more memorable when an AV does it. because inherently you know they will be superior drivers once mature

But you can tell a human driver that they need to move their car.

Humans have a self-preservation instinct that makes most of them think twice about truly stupid acts.

As if things in SF weren't dystopian enough.
