There are so many complaints about Cruise & Waymo’s robotaxis yet quite often the substance of the negative articles looks like making mountains out of molehills (e.g. claims that an ambulance was blocked by Cruise robotaxis when videos show it drove around them).
The societal value of autonomous vehicles is that they are safer than human driven cars. We should judge them on that criteria instead of the media’s incessant desire to pain tech as the bad guys.
