I saw a news story about this sort of thing years ago. When these driverless car experiments were first getting approved, there were some neighborhoods where the cars would basically just go to die. They'd enter a neighborhood and just stop in the middle of an intersection or slow down to a crawl and go in circles til they ran out of fuel. They have never fixed this problem, and people living in the same neighborhoods from 5 years ago are still having to go outside and shoo the cars away like some strange form of lost megafauna.

You can tell the people living in those condos are housebroken middle management types because if this shit was happening outside normal people's apartments those cars would all have been vandalized so badly they'd be totaled by the insurance company

I can't remember for the life of me where I read it, but I remember reading a kinda sci-fi/fantasyish novel in my teens that had universal ai controlled cars, and the main character asked how they didn't get into accidents sometimes and the other characters were like "are you stupid? It's one centralised ai controlling them all" and that stuck with me as an obvious requirement for driverless cars.

Anyway I don't think any current driverless car creators read that book.

lmao, driverless cars that can't even coordinate parking, do a zipper merge, honking and flashing each other, etc

these cars have learned how to drive just like humans alright

not one person went down there with a crowbar and started going ham? Americans have no dignity

"Ok, here's my pitch: Furbies! but louder, more repetitive, more obnoxious, and capable of killing people."

"All powered by AI"

If a driverless car starts honking unnecessarily it should be conoletely legal to set it on fire.

C'mon how hard is to safely molotov that place

Do Waymos do this when they're distressed? What's going on?

I'd be tossing fists full of ninja rocks off my balcony every night

imagine this but with bazingamobiles

I have no mouth, and I must scream.

Seems like those apartments are positioned just right to toss a couple of bricks out the window into the parking lot below. Sure would be a shame if they did that.

This is some dystopian comedy material

This was the best quest in Cyberpunk

Pretty sure this was a scene in one of the Fast and Furious movies

I’m sure this will not be the worst nor last AI growing pains we suffer
