Anthony Morris+FollowWho’s Really at Fault: Robotaxi or Human?Waymo’s self-driving taxi in Denver made headlines after blocking a bike lane—but here’s the twist: it wasn’t the autonomous system at the wheel, but a human trainer. As robotaxis roll out in more cities, every incident—human or not—fuels the debate: Are self-driving cars truly safer, or are we just shifting the blame? Would you trust a robotaxi over a human driver? Let’s hear your take! #Tech #Waymo #SelfDriving00Share
Melissa Suarez+FollowWould You Trust Tesla’s Vision-Only Driving?Waymo’s founder just threw some serious shade at Tesla’s Full Self-Driving tech, saying its camera-only approach is like a car with bad eyesight—he claims it wouldn’t even pass a DMV vision test. Tesla bets on cameras and processing power, but rivals like Waymo use lidar and radar for a ‘superhuman’ edge. Is Tesla’s vision enough, or is it a risky shortcut? Would you trust a self-driving car that ‘sees’ like a human? #Tech #Tesla #Waymo00Share
Traci Keller+FollowWhen a robotaxi gets it wrong in PhoenixImagine trusting a self-driving car for a quick ride, only to have it steer itself straight onto active train tracks—no steering wheel, no brakes, just you and a door handle. That’s exactly what happened in Phoenix, where a Waymo robotaxi calmly rolled along the light rail corridor as a train approached. The passenger had seconds to bail out, highlighting the real-world risks of handing over control to code. Would you feel safe in a car that can’t tell a street from train tracks? Where should we draw the line between convenience and safety with autonomous vehicles? #Transportation #Phoenix #Waymo00Share
Peter Castillo+FollowWaymo’s wild ride: Self-driving car stalls on Phoenix train tracksA Waymo self-driving car in Phoenix ended up on light rail tracks, forcing its passenger to leap out just before a train approached. The car then continued rolling down the tracks, causing a stir but no service disruptions. With Phoenix’s new light rail system possibly confusing the car’s sensors, experts say these glitches are part of the learning curve for autonomous vehicles. Still, some argue Waymo is safer than human drivers because it can’t get distracted. Would you trust a self-driving car after seeing this? Let’s hear your thoughts! #Transportation #Waymo #Phoenix00Share
brian69+FollowLA’s oddest gig: Get paid $22 to close robotaxi doorsRobots were supposed to take our jobs, but in Los Angeles, they’ve created a new one: closing robotaxi doors for cash. Waymo’s self-driving Jaguars can handle LA traffic, but a seatbelt caught in the door or a distracted rider can leave them stranded at the curb—until someone like you gets pinged to shut the door for $22. It’s a micro-gig you can stumble into while walking your dog, and it’s turning into a viral side hustle. What does it say about the future of automation when the robots still need us for the simplest tasks? #Tech #Waymo #Robotaxi00Share
Anthony Morris+FollowWould You Close a Robotaxi Door for $20?Waymo’s self-driving cars are high-tech, but they still need a human touch—literally. In LA, people are earning $20 just to close robotaxi doors that the AI can’t handle. It’s a wild twist: automation creating new, ultra-specific gigs. Is this a clever stopgap, or does it expose how far we are from truly autonomous vehicles? Would you trust a ride that still needs human backup? #Tech #Waymo #Robotaxi00Share
Melissa Suarez+FollowVenice Beach parade turns into a robotaxi rallyA Waymo robotaxi brought the Venice Beach Canals Holiday Parade to a standstill—literally—when it froze on a narrow bridge, trapping a line of cars for 45 minutes. Instead of losing their cool, locals turned the mishap into a community moment, cheering on the confused car with chants of “You got this, Waymo!” It’s a hilarious scene, but also a reminder of how far self-driving tech still has to go. Would you be patient and join the cheer squad, or would this drive you nuts? Let’s talk about what we really want from robotaxis in our neighborhoods. #Tech #VeniceBeach #Waymo00Share
Amber Mcguire+FollowWaymo’s wrong-way drive sparks Austin debateSeeing a driverless Waymo car heading the wrong way on I-35’s frontage road has folks in Austin buzzing about the future of self-driving tech. With over 100 Waymo incidents reported this year—including cars passing stopped school buses and ignoring police—many are wondering if these vehicles are ready for our streets. Waymo says safety is their top priority, but Austin ISD and city officials aren’t convinced, especially after repeated violations. What’s your take—are these growing pains worth it for the promise of safer roads, or is Austin being used as a testing ground? #Transportation #Austin #Waymo00Share
Lauren Cooper+FollowWaymo Robotaxi Drama: Stranger in the Trunk?!Waymo’s self-driving taxis are making headlines for all the wrong reasons—think viral TikTok of a stranger trapped in the trunk, robotaxis ignoring school bus stop signs, and even rolling into police crime scenes. And get this: the cars are now driving like aggressive NYC cabbies! With all this chaos, sticking with Uber suddenly feels like the safer bet. Would you trust a robotaxi after this? #Transportation #Waymo #Robotaxi00Share
vnguyen+FollowWaymo robotaxi helps deliver a baby in SF!A San Francisco mom just gave birth inside a Waymo self-driving taxi, and the car’s safety system instantly called for help—no driver needed! The robotaxi detected something unusual (maybe a scream or sudden movement), alerted Waymo’s support team, and 911 was on the line before the car even reached the hospital. Both mom and baby are healthy, and the story is a huge win for robotaxi safety tech. It’s wild to think how far autonomous vehicles have come. Would you trust a driverless car in an emergency? Let’s talk! #Tech #Waymo #SanFrancisco00Share
