I don't mean "I saw a Waymo"--they were all over the place, you can't miss them--I mean *encounter* as in the thing swerved into my lane...

I've been saying for years that self-driving technology isn't ready, it will not *be* ready for a long-ass time, and there's almost no way to trust the tech companies to accurately *tell us* when/if it is ready. Not when there's billions to be made.
Beyond that...

The problem with self-driving technology isn't even *primarily* "safety" but the *shift in liability*, meaning the liability is tossed in a black hole. This is the *prime function* of a lot of tech (including genAI), but esp self-driving--a story is told that it's "safer than humans"...
