Meanwhile, at Waymo:
Ticket #3490302: [bug]: Vehicles will freeze in place if normal traffic signalling is disrupted by power failures or other issues.
[CLOSED: WAI: Working As Intended]
#Google AI screws up again -- announces winner of football game hours before the actual game, complete with fake highlights
This AI Slime was obvious. But what of all the times it's NOT obvious
and can do SERIOUS DAMAGE? -L
The nasty WaymoGate situation in SF can't help but remind me of the great 1969 film "The Italian Job" starring Michael Caine (not the useless 2003 remake). A traffic control computer is sabotaged to jam up traffic all through Turin, except for ONE secret escape route to be used during a gold heist. Substitute brain-dead Waymo robotaxis for confused traffic lights and you have a parallel plot. I do recommend the film highly, especially for its legendary chase scene and very well balanced ending.
