On: Waymo granted permit to begin testing in New York City

Yeah the mindset is essentially drive to spec in the test and then skirting the law from then on.

I think a lot about this (bad drivers) and I’m not really sure how to fix it since I think it’s really a problem of underlying selfishness and perceived-exceptionalism mixed with overestimation of skill.

Nailed it.

Mostly the selfishness part. The whole idea of being courteous with other people on the road just doesn’t exist.

Sadly, this also extends to bicyclists. Entitled instead of courteous.

cars can easily be programmed to detect bad driving.
