Robotaxi Depot Shenanigans: When the plane lands and everybody gets up at once
A good look at the logic inside thoe Waymo taxis and what happens when they are all autonomous without any coordination where the feel awakens at the same time and all wish to leave at same time. Note car that has fklashing headlights at bottom right. some cars behind leard to find another path, but 3 cars are dead set on waiting for the obstruction ahead to clear.
Many years ago, there was a video precicting that cars of the future would be smart and we wouln't need traffic lights anymore because they would all negotiate passage between each other without requuiring anyone to stop by carefully choreographic their speeds./timing.
This video shows we are still quite far from that.
