That is EXACTLY the problem, Waymo must receive new mapping data if there is construction or in this case, barriers to block a street. Dumbest car ever. My Tesla navigates such things with ease, even dirt roads where it calculates the width of the road, divides it in half and travels on its own side.

@RandyWKirk1 About time that the news moved to streamers!

[Kurt Myrmel @KurtMyrmel]

You must be watching a different video than the one you just posted. The car STOPPED for the bicycle. My Model Y with FSD stops for way, way more pedestrians and bicycles where no other car stops. It has never even come close to hitting anyone even in parking lots. If anything, it is too kind to those pedestrians and bicycles. Cars behind me get mad because my car defers to pedestrians.

@RepSaraJacobs Osama Ben laden had a full trial before he was killed?

[Kurt Myrmel @KurtMyrmel]

@RandyWKirk1 On the order of 50 Robotaxis and 30 to 40 Cybercabs.

@batuhanppn You get out, lift the front and move it over.

[Kurt Myrmel @KurtMyrmel]

@KourtneyWagner_ Approximately 4,000 Waymos. That is a weekend production for Tesla. Waymo will not survive.

@dubiousben When accidents and deaths go down dramatically, Australia might catch on. I guess Australia is slow to adopt new technology to their loss.

@adamemedia1 The heavy rust, algae, and worn paint along the hull and waterline are consistent with months of continuous saltwater exposure and limited maintenance time during high-tempo operations

[Kurt Myrmel @KurtMyrmel]

@YammerTime01 I've driven over 120,000 miles using FSD. Not even close to having an accident. You are a denier.

@americannative_ Absolutely neutral, wear what you want. Only victims complain.

Saw a Zeelr Waymo today in Tampa. Did not see if there was a driver but I think so.

[Kurt Myrmel @KurtMyrmel]

It would be nice if Tesla picked at least one invite from Florida since we have such a limited geofence compared to Texas. After all Florida allowed Robotaxi to start without a safety passenger from day one.

[Kurt Myrmel @KurtMyrmel]

Tampa Robotaxi/Cybercab lot has many more Robotaxis and Cybercabs now than when I took my first ride on the day Robotaxi started in Tampa. A security guard asked me not to take pictures but I already took these from the public sidewalk.

[Kurt Myrmel @KurtMyrmel]

Second and third Robotaxi rides today. Chose pickup right next to the driveway of the Robotaxi and Cybercab lot hoping that my ride would come out of the lot. It came from elseware.

[Kurt Myrmel @KurtMyrmel]

Two more Robotaxi rides today so I have at least a little chance of getting an invite to the Cybertaxi reveal. I parked right outside the Robotaxi staging lot behind the Titatic exhibition on Dale Mabry hoping to video tape the Robotaxi leaving the lot to pick me up in about 20 feet. I took it to a McDonalds but it dropped me off in a parking lot next door. Same pickup place. Bigger lot.

[Kurt Myrmel @KurtMyrmel]

Second Tampa Robotaxi ride cost almost exactly the same amount as Uber.

[Kurt Myrmel @KurtMyrmel]

Tampa Robotaxi ride. When I tried to change my endpoint back to my origin point. I got the message that the Robotaxi was at the end of its service day and I had to get out at my destination. Called customer service and they said there was nothing that they could do. I had to order a new ride.

[Kurt Myrmel @KurtMyrmel]

Tampa Robotaxi problem. I took a short ride anticipating that I would change the destination back to the start point. I watched the Robotaxi path and thought it was having me walk some distance only to find that once I set the point where I was when I requested the ride, the starting point remains rather than following me.

[Kurt Myrmel @KurtMyrmel]

Testing wait times for Tampa Robotaxi. I found the storage place for Robotaxis and test Cybercabs. It is off Dale Maybry behind what is now the Titanic Exhibition. From wait times, I think all Robotaxis leave the central hub. Farther away from the hub meant longer wait times.
