Waymo gets green light in California to pick up passengers in self-driving cars
I have a feeling our regulatory environment is going to be unfairly hostile towards AVs in the coming months and years. Of course we all want a safe and responsible rollout of this tech, but people too easily forget how ABSURDLY dangerous  driving is already.<p>Like with Tesla, every accident and injury caused by a Waymo vehicle is going recieve disproportionate media coverage and subsequent public backlash. I hope we can view these incidents in context.<p>Admittedly, safety is just one speedbump-- social and economic disprution is a whole &#x27;nother beast.<p>Whatever happens it&#x27;s an exciting time to be alive! AVs have the <i>potential</i> to bring more sustainable, safe, efficient, and affordable mobility and I can&#x27;t wait to see how it all plays out.
