The car sent the San Mateo PD a report that the riders had toy projectile emitters (aka "guns," I suppose) they were using to shoot pellets at passers-by. It pulled into a parking lot until cops arrived. It doesn't report if it locked the riders in.

I was just thinking I want to try at least one joyride but no, now I'm not even interested in giving them those $20.

Not even "fewer mistakes than humans," just make the same mistakes but a lot faster and that's also good enough reason to keep it around (esp when you add parallelization) just from an efficiency/productivity point of view. There may still be other anti AI arguments, ofc.

My latest contention is that [video] links on HN, when sorted for newest, are the perfect way to enjoy YouTube.
