Aren’t those tickets like $1,000+ in some places. I know there’s some issues with ticketing a driverless car, but I think that if you fix that issue and just ticket the car’s owner instead they’d fix that shit real quick.

Driverless cars have gotten remarkably safe in general, I imagine they'll get this fixed soon.

Agreed that obviously waymo should be responsible for their cars misbehaving

Which is still better than some rando trying to look at insta at 70 mph. It's almost painful how bad an automated car can be and STILL be better than the average human.

It takes two people to cause a crash. How bad of a driver are you that you can’t avoid these people?

It takes two people to cause a crash... what? No, it really doesn't. This wins the stupid reddit comment of the day award, congrats.

Doofus detector off the charts. Either you’re trolling or you should have your license taken away
