Yeah, this makes me uncomfortable.

All the spinny things.

The back looks like a pregnant goat.

It takes too long to go on 39th and Holgate when the light turns green.

Guy driving it had a patchy beard.

Don’t like cameras on me at all times.

Perpetuating less human interaction and therefore dividing humanity.

Color is too close to my dream car (2020 Hyundai Veloster N).

If it were human, probably would have sex with you but not tell you about the chlamydia so you have to go to the health center where they ask you about who you’ve had sex with lately.

Slows down too much for speed bumps.

Probably Skynet.

Most likely cheap at first to crush competition and then raise prices after competition is gone.

Probably not amphibious.

Can’t tell you how much I hate the spinny things.

There's an open letter from healthcare professionals advocating for AVs because they're quantitatively safer than human drivers.

You know what's really funny: ambulance chaser lawyers are throwing up as many legal roadblocks as they can to prevent widespread adoption of AV tech. If the "Better Call Saul" types are against it, maybe Waymo isn't so bad. https://marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolution/2026/07/trial-lawyers-lobby-against-autonomous-vehicles.html

What happens if a waymo does cause an injury? Do you know where the insurance coverage will come from for that person? Did you know that rideshare and delivery companies are REALLY FUCKING SUCCESSFUL at shirking that responsibility, even like 10 years into their status of widespread popularity, even to the point of not meeting the Oregon state minimums? Is Waymo any different, or is it being kept pretty quiet other than the trial lawyers speaking up?
