Waymo's pathfinding algorithm generates an erratic, looping route in San Francisco, according to shared map screenshots

we need to discuss what happened to waymo this weekend. She embarrassed me and was generally uncouth

@sdamico @DanielleFong scenic route

@paularambles tough weekend to be straight in SF

@sdamico Pride problems

@sdamico Why not just use @robotaxi?

@sdamico @joshu hold my beer

no one discuss i really do not care. But she was a mess this weekend

@JLopas @robotaxi Need more cars in sf

@sdamico I wonder if they use the Google maps algorithm under the hood? Google has done this to me at least three times this week where I asked for maps directions and it suggests completely nonsensical routes that go off to residential streets and do a circle for fun.

@sdamico I've seen google do this. It'll act as if segments of a major road must be avoided for no clear reason.

@dackboor @sdamico jesus christ

@paularambles Hope the week starts smoother
