Waymo – Avoiding a Falling Skateboarder

Impressive feat by Waymo, though it could have been 100-200ms faster had it noticed not only the change in trajectory, but also the jerky motion that destabilized the scooter.<p>For a truly superhuman performance, it might even register the brick and anticipate the scooter&#x27;s accident.

But what would the car choose if there was no room to the left? Would it choose to hit a car next to it, or hit the person?<p>I&#x27;m curious how no-win scenarios are programmed into it and decided.<p>I&#x27;ll admit I have not done any research into this and I am sure I could.

Cutting edge technology solves a problem that shouldn&#x27;t even exist in the first place episode 376: bicycle infrastructure edition<p>PS: it&#x27;s an rental e-scooter, not a skateboard, another product of our piss poor infrastructure
