Would you know what a waymo was without looking it up?

UK based replies only.

Yep, I'm on Reddit a lot and see them mentioned on there quite a bit

Yes. Because I've seen them in London a few times this year. Thought they were the Google car at first.
I would not use one.

That'll go down a storm on the M25 then.

Nope.

A car hire app? My son was in LA earlier this year

Yes. Used one in San Francisco.

Yes. We used them when on holiday in the states this summer.

That's what I thought as well or a way of transferring money, but apparently not.

Yes. DC uses them regularly when working in LA.

Yes and I won’t use one ever. Do people genuinely want to have everyone lose their jobs?

Added to which I just spent a month in a part of the world with few tourists and many cabs. I found restaurants, activities, culture, explanations, weird stories, and laughs. A bloody robot won’t tell be the weird history of the weird building I’m passing, with the local flavour. Folklore isn’t always what’s on the internet. And it doesn’t have a grandma that remembers the Soviet era propaganda about it.

Talk to people. Before we’re all replaced!

I've just remembered, thats a Venmo!
Getting my Mo's mixed up. 🙄

No

Yes but only because I was driving behind one in London a few weeks ago and I looked up what it was called.

Yes. It's like a self-driving uber.

I think I also heard about them on the Hannah Fry programme.

Yes, I travelled in one on holiday. Exciting and actually considerably cheap.

Don’t believe this at all, they are considerably safe. When I travelled in one they are often hesitant to move off at lights as it maps people around it and won’t go if there is any risk of them going near the car. They signal before any manoeuvre.

Yes we used them in San Francisco

They were jaguars

Why not just call it what it is rather than a specific make? I don't call a computer a Dell. It's some sort of self driving car apparently.

Yes. Been in one. It tried to make us get out in the middle of a dual carriageway 😨. Interestingly none of my California based colleagues use them at all (this may or may not be related to the propensity for random trip endings…)

Yes. I saw my first one in the wild in London recently. It was heading down a road towards absolute chaos. A banksman, lorries reversing into a building site, cars on the wrong side of the road because of the lorries, cyclists and pedestrians. I wanted to stick around to see how it coped but I was late for a meeting.

Yes because I e seen tiktok compilation videos of them doing daft stuff. One poor passenger got out but all her bags were still in and it drove off before she could get them out the back or possibly the boot.

waymos swerving about, driving into floods, onto train tracks. They definitely mess up sometimes.

I looked it up - not everyone is based in London

Yes
