You may say it's a conspiracy theory but Waymo is arriving in Toronto and we have this master plan to dismantle our bike lanes happening at the same time

Waymo has issues with San Francisco bike lanes https://futurism.com/future-society/waymo-bike-lanes-traffic
We start removing our bike lanes in #toronto the same day Waymo puts their first cars in the streets for testing (plan to rollout by 2028)
Yes I am suspicious AF #waymo #ontario #biketooter #onpoli
@renata They are a nuisance here in San Francisco. I've experienced them blocking the entrance to my Cancer Hospital when I arrive for an appointment, and they're still there when I leave.
I'm in survivor care now. But so many other patients aren't doing as well, and having the entrance blocked is an ordeal for many.
Not to mention their freezing when we had a black out. They just sat there, unable to make left turns without a functioning street light.

@renata WTF?!
'…Waymo told safe street advocates that bike lane-awareness is “too high a bar,” because customers want to be dropped off in them.’
I’m failing to see why legally this is even remotely relevant. It would be like allowing them to speed or run red lights because customers want to go faster.

@renata
I hope you are prepared for these "funny" side effects, too:
https://youtu.be/Xvs0K1LG1ac@derderwish Damn I would have torched these things... Self-defense.

@Chigaze @renata It was recently changed but Waymo couldn’t get tickets in California. There may be other places where driverless vehicles cannot get a ticket.
Remember that these types of violations by AVs aren’t a momentary lack of judgement or attention but a design choice that was debated in meetings by multiple people

@renata It's bad, but I'm going to go with Doug and his late brother's love of trucks, and Doug's endless petty revenge schemes against Toronto. Sadly I've not seen Toronto opposing Waymo.

@renata Honestly I'm sure that's part of it, but honestly it's also just Doug taking revenge on Toronto for being upset that his Brother was smoking crack in office and took steps to remove him from office as a result. Frankly it shouldn't be allowed for the Provincial Government to override the City like that.

@renata Are the Waymo cars equipped to handle the cold?
How about Molotov cocktails?
@grumble209 @renata They can't even handle a traffic cone being placed on the hood.
Also worth mentioning that molotov cocktails are usually not the best idea.

This things are a scourge. If you can, keep them out of your town or city.

@renata How many strikes before we just ban automobiles in cities, because this would certainly be one.

@Chigaze @renata In #Germany, this would basically count as admitting to violating #TrafficCode on Purpose, which is at least doubling the penalty and gets driving licenses suspended due to the driver 'proving to be socio-psychologically unfit for the responsibilities of participating in traffic'…
- And we ain't talking about mere #fines here, but "Endangering Traffic Participants" is entering #felony territory with (in this case) at least a temporary license suspension if not permanent ban from reacquiring a driving license unless cleared with a psych eval.
- And given #Waymo is a #business doing that, this means it's a #CriminalEnterprise who's actions aim against laws, so they can be banned as a #CriminalOrganization and their assets seized as well as their entire staff from CEO to driver/janitor/dispatcher arrested for their roles.
And now you know why Waymo won't come to Germany.
