Around and around and around we go

PHOENIX, Ariz. -- A man's ride to the airport took an unexpected turn after his Waymo got stuck going in circles.

Mike Johns was on his way to the Sky Harbor International Airport in Phoenix last Monday when the self-driving car got stuck circling a roundabout in a parking lot.

  1. Idiot, auto-drive cars is what we need, because they're SO much better than a stinky driver.

  3. I was next to one of these things at a busy intersection that sat through a left hand turn green arrow and then turned into oncoming traffic when the intersection went green. Fortunately no collision and there was no passenger. I can't imagine sitting in the back seat with no driver and having this happen. Not ever getting into a driverless car either.

  4. This happened in Phoenix too. They must dumb down the Waymo's to the level of Phoenix drivers!

  5. Eh, I don't much care. I mean, sure, driverless cars are going to do stupid things. But they're not going to get drunk, send texts, argue with the girlfriend, etc. The stupid things that driverless cars do will look different than the stupid things that people do, but they're both stupid things. As long as somebody pays up to treat the injured from the inevitable accidents, it's all good.

    In theory, eventually driverless cars will be MUCH safer, but I doubt we're actually there yet, and probably won't be for another ten years.
