my friend bought a ride from a waymo for shits and giggles. i was actually intrigued about how the car made decisions on its own and sorta nerd sniped me to learn more about machine learning (not llms).
there’s probably some evil thing the self driving car companies are doing that im not aware of, but I was just interested in the ML aspect.
I don’t like it. I don’t want to self-drive a car, and I don’t want other people to do it either in most cases. I want someone else to drive the car, but with bigger cars that hold more people at once, such that it’s more efficient. Bonus points if the car drives on straight, flat, low-resistant paths.
Not practicle for how many cities aren’t setup for good public transit. Or city is too spread out. Or live in the outskirts of town. Not everyone wants to live in a concrete jungle
