Picture this: a dozen LAPD officers screaming with guns drawn, a suspect kissing the pavement, red-and-blue lights flashing like a rave… and then, like the world’s most oblivious Uber, a driverless Waymo robotaxi glides through the crime scene at 3 mph, turns on its blinker, and tries to parallel-park next to the guy in handcuffs. The cops are yelling “GO LEFT!” while the car calmly computes whether this is a good spot for passenger drop-off. Somewhere, Skynet is taking notes and laughing in binary.
