From what I've seen self-driving cars can navigate a 4 mile pre-learned route from the showroom to the delivery truck co.
Yup waymos are all over the place in phx area. Teslas might not do it but that doesn’t mean nobody can. This isn’t even Chinese electric cars with crazy features as well
Tesla is an industry joke. Keep your eyes peeled for Zoox.
Phoenix (and LA) are famous for basically not having weather. These things are working well in Richmond, or Boston.
Phoenix has all their weather in Late Aug through Early Sep, in the form of monsoons and haboobs. Then again in late Jan through early Feb, in the form of frost and a light dusting of snow that immediately melts.
Waymos in philly still have drivers, how about in phx?
Nope
ATLien here. Seeing a Waymo ruins my day. Seeing one of the freeway my whole week.

Your source is waymo's own propaganda (which is NOT about cities in general it's about nine specific American cities), my source against even that much is everyone else seeing them get stuck regularly:

Anyways, I'll leave you to your corporate dick sucking.
I swear you are implying you have never seen a human get stuck navigating a car for what would seem to be mundane or pointless reasons...
Humans all have different levels of competency, Waymos all have the same level.

Plot twist: they can't navigate entire cities. Some very well maintained streets, maybe.
Maybe we should build streets especially for them, then. Except I don't think they'll need the full width of a normal street. With their computer-driven precision they could probably get by with just a couple of narrow strips of metal.
And you could probably optimize traffic by increasing the size of the cars to include a lot more seats, or even standing room. Or even connecting multiple cars together for efficiency if there are a lot of other people who want to take the same route.
you're on to something 🤔 perhaps some type of rail that goes on the road for high speed travel hmm
Ah yes, trains, the logistics version of "evolve into crab"
People always complain about "reinventing the wheel," but it just brings me so much joy when the discussion inevitably ends in rediscovering trains as the ideal mode of transportation.
Trains are good but trolleys are too

You guys need to watch Adam Something (or probably already do) 🤣
we'll rename the cars to "pods"
Pretty sure some wooden planks in the middle would do wonders for stability and durability. Maybe some gravel too. Why has nobody thought of this yet??
No, just one strip of... it's really more of a shelbyville idea

Can I hire Etsy witches for this?
You can hire Etsy witches for WAY more things than you think.
wink wink nudge nudge
I like to make my brownies myself. I'll figure out what else those witches can do for me
Anyone have the contact info of the one who killed Charlie Kirk?

Wouldn't chalk be faster, cheaper, and more wind-resistant?
But chalk is used for summoning spells.
Thank you, a man of culture!
Sure, or just a can of white spray paint. I assume it works too, if this does. I dont trust Lemmy random meme pics though.
And better for the environment
You can do the same with ants and chalk circles
and chickens
Guess they are demons.
Subaru Impreza 1998 would never
TBF I know humans this would work on too.

I always wondered why Vampires don't just eat the salt.
Really traditional vampires are super OCD; one of the ways to get rid of them is to spill a big bag of eg. rice in front of them, and they'll spend so long counting every grain that they'll get caught by the rising sun. Salt ought to work as well?
One grain of salt, two grains of salt. Ah ha ha ha. Three grains of salt...
They have hypertension and it's bad for them.
I highly doubt this is true.
Does popping a cone on the hood still work? I don't live close enough to the airport to try it anymore
