Impressive feat by Waymo, though it could have been 100-200ms faster had it noticed not only the change in trajectory, but also the jerky motion that destabilized the scooter.

For a truly superhuman performance, it might even register the brick and anticipate the scooter's accident.

But what would the car choose if there was no room to the left? Would it choose to hit a car next to it, or hit the person?

I'm curious how no-win scenarios are programmed into it and decided.

I'll admit I have not done any research into this and I am sure I could.

Cutting edge technology solves a problem that shouldn't even exist in the first place episode 376: bicycle infrastructure edition

PS: it's an rental e-scooter, not a skateboard, another product of our piss poor infrastructure
