The thing I dislike about Waymo is other drivers.

I've now had it happen twice that a car will fully blow through an intersection because they know a Waymo will slam on the breaks to avoid a collision. They basically abuse the car's reflexes.

Also in any sort of situation where the Waymo is being very cautious the biggest danger is the impatient people behind the Waymo who will break the law to go out and around it.

Most of the world already solved this problem with red light cameras.

Returning to Houston after living abroad for 10 years, the biggest culture shock was that everyone runs red lights.

Every time the light turns green for you, you can expect 1-3 cars to keep rolling through until you can go. I've almost been rear ended by not running a light that just turned red because the person behind me also wants to floor it through. Yakety sax shit.

Then I found out in 2019, the Texas legislature outlawed the use of red-light cameras.

Muh freedum.

This probably bizarrely justifies the pulp scifi trope of the automated car having an human-like android driver.

I mean, if you want to merge in heavy traffic and nobody is letting you in everyone knows to cut in front of a very expensive car. They’ll brake.
