george___c··on Yes, there are more driverless Waymos in S.F
This object identification and prediction capability can be easily overloaded. Last night, coming home from Summer Symphony (Idaho's big improvement on Frisco's Stern Grove), I encountered 30 or so drivers behaving rather erratically due to a small roadside meadow containing at least 75 deer, all of which could decide to cross the roadway en masse within a few seconds. I successfully navigated all this, but I would NOT want to be in a Waymo for this trip. And this was in very good weather; obviously bad weather complicates this scenario even further.
