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.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.Admittedly, safety is just one speedbump-- social and economic disprution is a whole 'nother beast.Whatever happens it's an exciting time to be alive! AVs have the potential to bring more sustainable, safe, efficient, and affordable mobility and I can't wait to see how it all plays out.
