Go to hell, Waymo: Why Waymo f*cked up in SF
My reading of their statement says that indeed it was traffic lights being out that caused the problems. Surprise - in some cases it appears that when Waymo vehicles hit dark traffic lights they require human confirmation from Waymo Master Control to decide how to proceed. They were overwhelmed on Saturday. And it sounds like Waymo now plans to
eliminate as much of that human oversight as possible going forward. What the bloody hell could go wrong with that? THEY'VE LEARNED NOTHING. Go the hell Waymo.
