I'm 99% sure that a human made these decisions after viewing the cameras in the vehicle, not that the Waymo vehicle itself decided to contact the police and park in a parking lot with these kids.

This honestly seems pretty ideal. In a dangerous situation, the only risk is property damage - there's no driver to threaten!

Agree. AI is not there yet, but it seems it is coming, and that would be scary. People will one day be in the scenario, where AI judges human behavior, and then decides what type of punishments to dish out based on it.

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.

Even if there was a way to remotely engage child lock, the front doors are still always unlocked from the inside.

hmmm kidknapped due to a false positive would be a bit of an oops to try and rewind. its bad enough that the cops do it [just try and get them to give you a ride back to where thay took you from, even when they are told to cut you loose]

it causes real damages when you basically abduct and strand someone.

these "kids" were shooting orbees out the windows, so mischief on them, but get it wrong once and it could get expensive.

It would be a tiny settlement, particularly now that we have documented cases like this one where the policy is preventing real harm.

Like, if you're a kid drinking and shooting bystanders from the back of an Uber, what do you think is going to happen?
