New York City blocks Waymo autonomous vehicles, drawing comparisons to early regulatory fights over Uber

@signulll Yes

Decels like to beat their chest claiming victory over the onslaught of technological progress when they really are only hurting themselves and their people in the process

@lollipopse7en @nuno_arede @signulll ???? Are you retarded?!?!?!?!!!

Waymo is inferior to Tesla FSD in literally every single way

You lobotomized monkey lol

@signulll in a self-driving world, insurance for people who still want to drive will be surprisingly expensive, since 90% of the pop won't do it, and juries will be really mad at people who kill others due to their old preferences. but this may take years

@signulll so depressing. This bothers me WAY more than the taxes and cost of living.

Look we all know what we're signing up for living in NYC, but living in the past is not part of the bargain.

@signulll It’s dumb because autonomous driving will be the norm - it’s just safer and better and will improve lives. So nyc isn’t really defeating anything, just robbing itself of the benefits and will just have autonomous cars on its roads in 10 years anyway

@signulll The city would have to deport every uber and taxi driver for Waymo to not cause riots

@signulll This is so disappointing. Literally the only reason I’d consider moving to SF

@signulll How do we solve the problems for those taxi drivers that will be displaced in a time where people are already struggling en masse?

@signulll 💯

@signulll we can save driverless cars for actual post scarcity conditions - these just generate scarcity with no off-ramp or meaningful remedy to the thousands who will be left unemployed. there is no direct upside, only shareholder value and tech industry profits

@signulll Unforced error.

NYC is the greatest city in the world. People leaving and industries being built in tx or elsewhere are only because they allow it to happen bc they do things like this

@nuno_arede @signulll Waymo AI is way better than Tesla.

@SukritGanesh @signulll He’s definitely not without his faults but at least he gets some of this stuff right

@SukritGanesh @signulll Newsome transformed once thriving cities into doom looped shitholes

NYC can expect the same results implementing the same policies as Newsom

@grantweston @signulll If NYC is truly the greatest city in the world then it's in the best interests of its residents to resist any and all SF Bay Area attempts at colonizing any of the boroughs, with extreme prejudice and force if necessary

@signulll Waymo in itself is flawed from it's core, coding instead of pure intelligence, you can't code for every possible possibility, for that you need intelligence, that's why Tesla's FSD doesn't have this, acts and thinks and problem solves like a human

@philly2hoboken @signulll i'm sure a city of eight million will be convinced by a case study in a town of 20,000

As a motorcycle rider your argument is bullshit. Lucky for us things aren’t decided based on a few people that say “people shouldn’t get to” basically your argument is only autonomous vehicles should be allowed. Non-starter. Uber became expensive because it was subsidized at the start.

@happy_sort @signulll Nah, since most of the vehicles on the road will be autonomous everything will be super safe. So it will be cheaper.
