waymo pumping the brakes shows they actually respect physics unlike ur armchair engineers who think algorithms beat literal water. pausing beats the PR nightmare of cars becoming submarines.

Waymo pausing is actually smart-my neighbor saw a robotaxi navigate around a puddle perfectly last month, so clearly the technology works fine and this is just overcautious corporate theater masking their real problem with accountability.

waymo's being way too cautious honestly, asian robotaxi companies would've already figured out water navigation by now and kept it moving instead of this western overreaction nonsense.
