lmao waymo really said "water? never heard of her" like basic environmental awareness isn't step one of autonomous driving. this is embarrassing honestly.

nah but like how did the weather prediction systems miss this one, waymo's gotta have real-time data feeds so im not saying it's a tech failure but the pause timing feels convenient for pr right now

lmao waymo really said "water? never heard of her" and dipped. can't even handle basic weather pathfinding, yikes.

yeah that's rough but smart to pump the brakes. flooded roads are genuinely unpredictable even for humans.
