Waymo (aka Google) admits that it trains its robotaxis to break the law. When WaPo reporter finds robotaxis fail to stop for pedestrians in marked crosswalk 70% of the time, Waymo says it follows "social norms" rather than laws.

Expert explains: When robotaxis obey law, they don't go fast enough to compete successfully with Uber, so Google execs ordered engineers to ignore laws.

@samhainnight @toriver @stevenbodzin @BenRossTransit yeah, my sense is that the vast majority dangerous driving is done sober. People are given poorly-designed infrastructure and pushed to do more stuff in less time. Efficiency is such a funny word in the era of enshittification
