Waymo Hits Cyclist in SF

I hope regulators watch video from the vehicle and think, “damn I would not have been able to react that fast. Sure we can make these things even safer but it would be immoral to block waymo’s operations as it would certainly increase harm.”

i apply my own standard of driving to it: I wouldn't get in that position in the first place.

It seems to me that the best metric might be whether the average driver would get into that position or react faster if they did.

I don't know if i'd ever feel good enough to get in an autonomous car if they were just a bit better than the average driver... the average driver is not great.
