I agree that nuance is needed but the specifics of 404's reporting is that they absolutely have gotten footage from Waymos (with a warrant) and police have begun to use them to source footage. www.404media.co/waymo-pauses... [embedded post]

It is probably best that the billionaire-backed AI-powered job-eliminating 360°-always-recording-camera robots stay out of downtown right now, yes [embedded post]

It appears that agitators called several Waymo self-driving autonomous cars to the site of one of the demonstration in Los Angeles, before vandalizing and burning them for absolutely no reason. [video]

LAPD requesting Waymo shutdown the app. People keep calling them and then lighting them on fire.

These folks are in for a rude awakening. According to the Waymo TOS if you set three or more of their cars on fire they cancel your account.

There are people on here saying it's violent and domestic terrorism to set a Waymo car on fire. A robot car? Are you going to demand justice for the robot dogs next? But not the human beings repeatedly shot with rubber bullets in the street? What kind of politics is this?

Firefighters obviously couldn't safely get to the Waymos due to the LA protests. Three of them are just completely burnt to rubble now. These 5 Waymos that were vandalized, which represent about 0.4% of the entire fleet, cost ~$900,000. [image]

My neighbor told me rioters keep destroying his Waymos so I asked how many Waymos he has called and he said he just goes on the app and gets a new Waymo afterwards so I said it sounds like he's just feeding Waymos to rioters and then his investors started crying.

@bgurley @SawyerMerritt probably a little less, but in the ballpark: Waymo co-CEO said it costs as much as $100k on top of the cost of the Jaguars, which are $75k retail. the 6th gen ones are much cheaper. [image]
