""People always point out that unlike human driven cars, the AVs stop at lights and obey the speed limit. However, they are really only as good and effective and safe as the programming behind them.""
""Waymo vehicles routinely pull into the city's bike lanes both to pick up and drop off passengers - a phenomenon which is well documented on social media.""
Self-driving car companies promote the idea that autonomous vehicles are safer than human drivers. However, incidents reveal that these vehicles are only as safe as their programming. In San Francisco, Waymo vehicles have been observed obstructing bike lanes while picking up and dropping off passengers. A lawsuit was filed against Waymo after a cyclist was injured due to a vehicle blocking her path. The effectiveness and safety of autonomous vehicles depend on their programming and operational decisions.
