Waymo's Double-Crash with Pickup Truck, Cyclist and Arson Examined

&gt; By many standards, these student and newly licensed drivers are “not ready” but we embrace them<p>Because they must drive to gain experience. That&#x27;s why it happens in phases: with a teacher, temp permit with another driver, etc. Without this process we wouldn&#x27;t have drivers at all. Simulators can only do so much and they are costly.

Brad writes a lot of interesting stuff on self-driving cars (he calls them &quot;robocars&quot;). Not sure why this particular page made it to Hacker News.<p>Waymo has to do an interesting dance with municipalities where it wants to be cooperative, but not let the municipalities think they have authority that they don&#x27;t.

Good lord, what a headline. To be clear, they’re talking about three separate incidents: 1) a towed trucks that was hit by two separate Waymo vehicles; a crash with a cyclist; and the Waymo that was torched in SF.
