waymo only needs to operate in a 2D space and care about what's in front and on the sides of it. that's much simpler than three dimensional coordination. an "oops" in a car is not immediately life threatening either | ||

> an "oops" in a car is not immediately life threatening either They definitely can be. One of the viral videos of a Tesla "oops" in just the last few months showed it going from "fine" to "upside-down in a field" in about 5 seconds. And I had trouble finding that because of all the other news stories about Teslas crashing. While I trust Waymo more than Tesla, the problem space is one with rapid fatalities. | ||

>an "oops" in a car is not immediately life threatening either There are enough "oops"'s that are life threatening though. | ||
