Waymo doesn't do highways and rarely exceeds 45 mph. It's not an apples to apples comparison.
Also, did you know, Waymo is more expensive than Uber or Lyft and typically takes much longer to reach it's destination?
It's still a novelty, time will tell if it can survive beyond that.

I'd like to see the stats normalized for type of driving (highway versus not). Most accidents occur at low speeds, under 40 mph and 75% occur within 10 miles of home. Based on what I see, in urban areas, arterial roads account for 60% of severe accidents.
Also, do you have the data on Waymo taking longer.

It's gone viral on X. Unfortunately, I think he's underselling it quite a bit because the reality is more insane than what he is letting on and there isn't going to be any way you can prepare for what is coming. Even the AI experts are now at risk.
More than anyone else on this thread, you need to read that article. But if you don't, that's fine. One less meat sack to compete against for the crumbs.infinity ag said:
So many naive simpletons here.
AI has not won. AI is a tool, it will not "replace" anyone. The greedy CEO will use AI as an excuse to cover for his own failure and screwup precisely because there are so many naive simpletons who will buy what he says.
Then in a few years when reality sets in, they will say AI has reached its ceiling, they need people again. Much like offshoring which showed up to mediocre in quality.

Slap enough tools in a row and you get a task. Slap enough tasks in a row and you get a job. Slap enough jobs in a row and you get a company. Company into an economy. We are somewhere between the tool to task and task to job transition.infinity ag said:

Lawyer here. My law partner came in and asked me to research Forida law on an insurance law issue since that is my area. Idiot employee at a client hired an uninsured unbonded contractor for demolition work. They hit a fiber optic line, etc...
Uploaded all docs to Gemini, spent some time with a good prompt. It wrote a perfect legal memo in more detail than I would have in less than a minute. Dates, names, legal citations -- all accurate. Gave me emails to contact the Florida 811 service (call before you dig) to verify info. It would have taken me an hour if not more, to research, google, and write all that.
And the scary thing is it gets exponentially better each day. Most of the lawyers I know are freaking out. Accounting, law, finance, medicine. All white collar jobs are at risk.
