A cyclist was injured in a collision with a Waymo driverless vehicle in San Francisco on Tuesday, officials said.

Here we go. Autonomous vehicles are now mowing down cyclists.

I hope that Waymo’s insurance is good!

    You need to be better. The article says there was a passenger in the car, I’m sure they can and will testify as to exactly what happened.

    Again. This wasn’t a mowing down of anyone and it was a situation that even human drivers wouldn’t have been able to avoid.

    I’m accepting that statement from waymo at face value until given reason not to. There are likely witnesses including the aforementioned passenger. Waymo is the one who called the cops. You need to take a breath and stop letting your hatred of vehicles larger than a bicycle color your take on things. It’s not healthy and it will lead to stress based health issues down the road.

    The above said. You have a nice day now.

      I’m sure they were completely paying attention to what their car was doing like every time one of these things happen.

      Do you think that the passenger would have been paying attention to what’s in front of the car? I don’t think so, but I would rather go by the cameras on the car - they don’t lie.

      Again. This wasn’t a mowing down of anyone and it was a situation that even human drivers wouldn’t have been able to avoid.

      I think they would have. At least human drivers that aren’t driving like self-driving cars 😜

      Fair point, and I appreciate your concern.

      My daughter’s friend was killed by a driver in a pick-up truck less than a year ago while she was riding an e-scooter. It was 100% avoidable, and the driver was only charged with failure to yield.

      No charges for actually killing her. So when I see that cars are still hurting or killing people, it boils my blood because I know that the driver (self-driving or not) will never be held accountable.
