    The problem with wile e coyote comparisons is that a lot of humans would also crash into a wall that was painted to look like it wasn’t a wall. It’s much more meaningful to find mistakes that a human wouldn’t make.

      I don’t like this either as it seems to lead people to overestimate the capability of lidar and radar systems (and radar is worse than useless. False positives are dangerous too).

      There is NO automated system on the road that is proven. Waymos and shit will also end up killing people. Please, people, don’t do their marketing for them. The road system and cars are a lethal system with dangerous tradeoffs by design.
