I took a Waymo car across Phx yesterday to pick up my truck at the dealer. The experience was good and very eye opening to where technology has brought us.

The ride was 25 miles and it was only $26. Nonstop needed either! The bad part was I didn’t realize it only took surface streets, no freeway at all.

The ride was 71 minutes and took me on streets with minimal traffic. It even took some one way small streets in Downtown Phoenix to get around heavy traffic.

The car was all electric and felt a little jerky at times on stops and starts. It changed lanes a lot just to prepare for a turn a mile ahead. It even changed lanes coming up to a stop light when there was an open lane next to it.

The only bad to the trip was the drop off point. The car drove through the dealership new car area, past the service entrance, around the service bays and stopped in the back entrance to work bays.

Overall it was a neat experience and our future of getting rid of humans and having machines do our jobs. Its the future embrace it or be left behind.

And we drove by a crackhead washing her feet with a soda pop.

Those cars will be all logic, no common sense. When people are removed from the equation, stop and go traffic will start to disappear - unless the system goes offline.

She needs new Vans.

I long for the day when you hop on the interstate and control of your vehicle is removed and the matrix takes over. The car seamlessly merges into traffic and accelerates to 150mph until it reaches your exist where it relinquishes control back to the operator.

yes, its grown alot since i got here in 1988. The wife and I have not found another place we would move to. Lots of great places to visit and hang out in but high humidity, dealing with snow and worrying about natural disasters keep us in the dry desert.
 
71 minutes for 25 miles for 26 bucks.. i understand it’s still in the concept stages but god damn that sounds terribly inefficient for both time and money?
 
My sister was a crash test dummy for them.....LOTs of thinking in that car.... I just don't see them working...Too many hackers and general A holes in the world...
