    laugh now, but a future where your car tattles on you is not that far off.

    Lol, the npr segment about this was basically a wamo ad this morning. I shit you not they said, “The only good choice they made was taking a wamo.” I did a lot of stupid shit as a teenager but even I wasn’t dumb enough to do it in front of a bunch of cameras.

      when i was a teen, pretty much the only security cameras i saw were at banks and on atms, and at the 7-elevens in sketchy parts of the city. there were also cameras overlooking parts of the freeways so the state could manage timed on-ramp meters better than by just vehicle counts alone.

      (yea. i did some stupid shit back then.)

      Unless you leave your phones at home and go way out into a forest or empty field, you’re always in front of a bunch of cameras these days. Everything and everyone is spying on you at all times.

    The question I want to ask about that story is, would the outcome have been any different in a human driven cab? I can’t imagine a cab driver being cool with underage kids drinking in the back of their cab either.

      People need to understand that if they say “I’m unhappy with our president,” in a Waymo, someone knows.
