Would Waymo accept society destroying robotaxis ?

Prolly not. But to Waymo killing humans is a profit margin issue.

If a robot taxi were to hit and kill the Waymo CEO, that would be the only acceptable death.

Only way I will accept it is if the board members are all held to the same degree of responsibility as a driver on the road. Your AI car ran someone over? There goes the company drivers license for a few years… Good luck keeping your AI car company afloat in that time.

Why wouldn’t we accept that? We accept so many deaths by human car drivers.

It won’t be hard to have self-driving cars be 10 times safer, which will save many lives. But that does mean we have to accept some deaths by self-driving cars.

No deaths would be awesome, but for that we would have to completely restructure all existing traffic infrastructure. In the current case there will allways be scenarios where even the best drivers (human or robot) won’t be able to avoid a collision.

No, we’re apathetic and resigned to it. Very different.

Yeah and the moment that happens we’ll have a bunch of burnt down robotaxis. If they don’t do that to themselves first, lol.

Only if its the death of the idiot that uttered that, so, yeah, very technically true, I guess.

Yes, society has become that insensitive and dumb.
