Regarding crack addicts, LA isn't that much worse than SF where they have been testing for a while. Yes, LA is bigger and has more crack addicts, but the density of crack addicts per square kilometer is about the same between the Tenderloin and Skid Row.

Waymo will probably just geofence out the worst areas anyway.

That's true, there are definitely ways to make this work if we're confining these to very restricted spaces with active monitoring.

I look forward to a future LA where car ownership is optional. There's a lot of aggressive urban planning that needs to happen and implemented for it to work. Downtown Culver City is a good example.
