Waymo's self-driving robotaxi encountered social media buzz after being photographed seemingly pulled over by Tokyo traffic police. Although the vehicle appeared to be in violation, the situation arose because the robotaxi is still operated manually by drivers from Nihon Kotsu. This incident, which occurred during Waymo's rollout in Tokyo, points to the integration of human drivers in the operation of these advanced technologies, emphasizing how the data collected will adapt the self-driving system to local conditions and improve road safety metrics significantly.
Waymo's self-driving robotaxi in Tokyo garnered social media attention after being seen pulled over by traffic police, highlighting the surprising intersection of AI and traditional law enforcement.
The incident, initially humorous, is likely a reflection of human error rather than an issue with Waymo's autonomous driving technology.
