Holy shit, I completely forgot about that. Yes they definitely did.

Also, Trump raped a 13-year-old girl. (WARNING VERY NSFL)

“Since there was no human driver, a ticket couldn’t be issued (our citation books don’t have a box for “robot”),” reads the post.

The department said that it had alerted Waymo of the glitch

That's not how it fucking works

How have you guys not bothered to prepare for this? It's not the cop's fault, but it is not a secret that there are Waymo cars in San Francisco. How is this something that nobody thought of?

Last year, California governor Gavin Newsom signed into law a bill that allows police officers to issue a “notice of noncompliance” if a driverless car breaks traffic laws. The law goes into effect in July 2026.

Oh, pardon me. So you're on top of it.

The bill was introduced by assemblymember Phil Ting of San Francisco amid several incidents in the city, including driverless cars blocking traffic, dragging a pedestrian, interfering with firetrucks, and entering active crime scenes.

And your plan was to call up Waymo and ask them politely to improve their tech please? Or, that becomes the plan as of 2026?

With the new law, first responders can order a company to move autonomous vehicles out of an area, and the company has two minutes to direct its cars to leave or avoid that area.

The San Bruno police department, in response to people who believed officers were being lenient, reaffirmed: “There is legislation in the works that will allow officers to issue the company notices.”

My guy these cars went on the road EIGHT FUCKING YEARS AGO

The big invasion of Ukraine was years in the future, Covid hadn't happened and wasn't going to any time soon, Obama had just stepped down, CALIFORNIA EXPLAIN

Flying in a Boeing aircraft is probably still safer than driving. But yes, flying in an Airbus and avoiding big dense airspace like NYC / DC is probably significantly safer. I've started deliberately trying to do both as of now.

I did, I'm just going to leave it as !politics

Yeah, !world@quokk.au is nice. For whatever my opinion is worth, I don't think it really needs consolidation, !globalnews@lemmy.zip is nice too. It's good infrastructure hygiene to spread these things out a little into a little ecosystem, so if I start frothing at the mouth and deleting any criticism of Democrats, or something, there are still five or six other thriving communities where people can say their thing.

I don't think this is even counting state violence. We're still using that definition where if someone has a vest on that says "police" (and even if that is a wild exaggeration of their qualifications), it's not violence, it's just some sparkling free range asphalt hitting and grinding slash gunfire. This is only the freelance stuff.

(Not even to bring up what you call it if you then stuff someone in a box with no climate control and deny them medical care and food and toilets and then all of a sudden they die for no reason.)

why the need to accuse me of re-editing a comment? (which never happened)

You edited this comment after I posted my reply to it which talked about archaeology. I thought you'd edited the comment to remove mention of archaeology, but I was wrong, that mention came from this comment of yours.

But then, I realized I'd been wrong, and retracted the wrong thing I'd said, and apologized about it. Not sure how you even managed to see my wrong accusation within the ~2 minutes or whatever that it was on Lemmy, but in any case, my bad.

What you are seemingly trying to tell me here, “PhilipTheBucket,” is that you’re not really able to countenance the actual arguments I’m making above.

Now would you say that’s a fair or unfair statement? If unfair, could you give me some facts & reality-based reasons as to why not?

I don't know how to upload an image within a comment in Piefed. Presumably it's not that hard and I'm just thick. Anyway, please in the meantime enjoy this ASCII art of a sea lion:

Have a good day. Like I said, I have no interest in continuing a dispute with you about this.

Yeah, I realized after that you were talking about archaeology up in your original reply to me, not in the pre-editing version of some other comment. Sorry about that, I had already edited my comment to take out the accusation (within 5 minutes of originally posting it.)

I pretty much agree with this comment of yours. I have absolutely no reason why that would mean we have to continue to bicker. I do think that comment is pretty firmly in contradiction to your earlier statements ("King Arthur / Robin Hood"), but whatever, I see no profit at all in us having a dispute about that part of it.

Oooohhhh

I mean, yes, obviously. It all of a sudden makes the other commenter's steadfast insistence against me make sense, if they thought that I meant this person actually existed who could do real life magic tricks and came back from the dead and he still watches to see if you're masturbating.

Yes, I was talking about the historical figure, not the superhero. I thought that went without saying but maybe not.

(Edit: What the heck, their original argument is clearly saying that they think there's no evidence that the historical figure existed. But whatever, we got there in the end, I guess.)

All good, no worries, I was just confused lol

Well, you're not wrong as far as the letter of the law I guess, but reinstalling them shows intent to not shut them down. You might be right about the letter of the law, but I feel like it is indicative that they don't have any respect for the city's right to control the stuff that goes on within its borders independent of the greater fascist forces that are trying to exert control everywhere no matter what people say. The city sort of tacitly admitting that Flock might be running them when they're not supposed to, but dealing with it in this cowardly way by just wrapping bags around them, seems like not the vigorous defense of liberty that is needed right now. If they push, push back. That's my feeling.

Lol thank you very much. I have for-real started to suspect that people are making a goal out of having pointlessly disagreeable conversations on Lemmy about trivial topics for some unknown reason.

Almost certainly it is not that, just me being paranoid and Lemmy is being kind of stupid as the internet is known to be sometimes, but it's really hard to look at this conversation or this one and not conclude that someone is just being a pain in the ass on purpose.

(Actually, I think the inclusion of "democrat" as an adjective is kind of indicative of one very particular purpose for having this one particular conversation with me which doesn't seem to have any factual basis for the person to think the things they are saying that they think, but it goes beyond that. Usually it seems just random. There are just lots of people on Lemmy who will say something without thinking and then try to defend it to death so they won't have to "lose" the conversation, I think is the most likely actual explanation.)
