Waymo's Police Chase Is HERE

A driver's Whimo car made an illegal Uturn to avoid the police which was there to control drivers for consumption of alcohol or drugs. Yeah. So basically it was pulled over by police in San Bruno which I think is San Francisco. I think the Whimo cars only exist in San Francisco. Um which made an illegal U-turn. Now, it's suspected. It's not we we can't find this out, but it's suspected that there was a DUI checkpoint, which is where police just stop and just check that you're not high or drunk. Um that that it picked it up on the GPS or something like that, and it just made a U-turn to kind of avoid it. But that that's all speculation at this point. The issue drivers driverless car. Exactly. Right. So the issue is is that when they eventually caught up cuz they saw it making this Uturn. They caught up with a car. There's no one to to to to find to to you know it was just a I don't know whether the car was empty actually. It might have been empty. I'm not too sure. But the point is the driver's seat was empty. No one no person made that U-turn. So they've got no one to find. And it sort of revealed this loophole in the law, a regulatory loophole that prevents officers from actually like citing a driverless car for for traffic violations, which is bonkers. And it's, you know, with with in this instance, we're talking about just an illegal U-turn. But like in instances where it's murdered someone, let's say, or if it's hurt someone, who are you who are we to blame? This is just this is just the bottom of the or top of iceberg. Do you know what I mean? When it comes to this these problems that might encounter with these AI powered cars and yeah, like I say, leaves this gray area leaving officers powerless because they just can't do anything. You just got to let it do its thing. I wonder how they stopped it. Uh I think they have like these driverless cars have protocols when they see police to to stop or like to to know and stop. I don't know. Maybe I don't know how to but as you said it might be because if the AI is trained on human and human try to kind of like avoid police if they see them. Maybe the AI just kind of like learns this by default to try to avoid police if they can even take cover. Yeah. Slow down when you see the police. Yeah, whatever. Yeah, I don't know. It's crazy, but quite funny either way. This is part of a larger conversation on my show, Command AI, which we stream live every single week.
