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.

@BenRossTransit NYS is already OK with law breaking enabling behavior of Google Maps and Waze. Should be OK with Waymo too I suppose.. Maybe they'll employ devices that cover their license plates automatically also because that's becoming a norm.

speed gun or radar warnings? Creating distracting devices? Can you enter a warning into their system without taking your eyes off the road?

@Iragersh @BenRossTransit Ok so not really because drivers don't have to do those things and most don't ... or have evolved to not fall into the false dichotomy trap laid for them
