During a Congressional hearing, Waymo's chief safety officer, Mauricio Peña, was grilled over the company's reliance on overseas workers.

Leading to the hypothetical question...

When the drunk Waymo operator in the Philippines runs over a 6 year old girl on Market St SF, who gets indicted for vehicular manslaughter?

@mastodonmigration @ai6yr

And why has the NHTSA certified Waymo vehicles as 'Safe'?
Normally, if it is determined a faulty part has caused multiple, but unrelated accidents, then an national recall is triggered.
If a plane crashes, a major FAA investigation begins.
Why are we allowing self-driving vehicles a free pass?

“When the Waymo vehicle encounters a particular situation on the road, the autonomous driver can reach out to a human fleet response agent for additional information to contextualize its environment,” the post reads. “The Waymo Driver [software] does not rely solely on the inputs it receives from the fleet response agent and it is in control of the vehicle at all times.”
