Waymo's self-driving cars are under fire for safety concerns and lack of emergency controls, with some calling for them to be removed from roads until proven safe. Commenters argue that the technology is unregulated and poses a risk to public safety. A commenter named 'palordrolap' suggests Waymo's cars should be taken off the road until they are provably rehabilitated, while 'finalarbiter' claims passengers are not responsible for the vehicle's behavior. 'laranis' highlights the fundamental problem with automated cars: they cannot handle edge cases that humans can adapt to, leading to potential fatalities. 'phoenixz' and 'teft' both stress the need for emergency stop buttons and kill switches, respectively, as current vehicles lack these essential safety features. 'DarrinBrunner' points to a lack of regulatory oversight, while 'Cocodapuf' argues that self-driving cars are not yet capable of handling complex environments like Boston's roads. 'scytale' criticizes Tesla's self-driving tech by pointing out its reliance on cameras instead of LIDAR. The community is divided between those who see self-driving cars as a necessary evolution and those who view them as a dangerous, unregulated technology that should be banned. The consensus is that Waymo's cars are unsafe and require immediate safety improvements and regulatory oversight. The debate highlights a sharp divide between proponents of autonomous vehicles and those who demand stricter safety measures and accountability.
