SFO traffic is not bad at all. Send them to LAX and we're talking.

Its not true self driving until the Waymo asks if dropping you off at arrivals is ok.

There's the big sign there telling you to go to arrivals for drop-off. This is probably a stupid question but can Waymo cars interpret those temporary display signs and follow them? Would it?

		It seems to handle the standardized ones (think "construction ahead, detour left") perfectly well from the rides I've taken, but there's all sorts of ways they could be 'cheating' on that.

I'll be honest, I think LAX's traffic is better than SFO's. It feels like there's a lot less spaghetti at LAX, the shortcuts are reasonable, and you don't have separate international and domestic loops.

		LAX's many parking lots with left lane entrances definitely threw me for a loop the first couple of times. Overall though, I think I agree with you.

JFK is probably the 10th circle of hell

		I was also thinking JFK is pretty bad.

		I don't touch JFK with 10mi pole. I've always found EWR to be much more consistent and easier to get to

Send them to BOS and we're talking

Is the mark of intelligence being able to navigate to BOS, or refusing to drive through the big dig in the first place?

The Big Dig, for all the digs it rightfully got for taking forever and costing a shitton, actually does the job it's supposed to (mostly). I'm generally pleasantly surprised how few problems it had when I lived there.

I didn't go to Logan a ton though.

		I haven't driven through it much since it was completed - I moved out of Boston in 2005. As a now-just-visitor I find driving through the central artery tunnels even more stressful than on the old elevated 93, but that could just be a lack of familiarity thing -- I don't drive when I visit Boston, only if I'm flying in to Logan to head to the cape or something. It is, however, _really_ nice not having the freeway cutting through and the greenway is gorgeous.

JFK has entered the chat

	▲	mtalantikite 3 days ago \| parent [-]
		I'll take JFK over LAX. The construction going on right now at JFK sucks, but LAX is comically bad. Just last week I was on a rental car shuttle at LAX and watched 3 separate groups of people at different terminals miss their flights because traffic just wasn't moving.
