There's two clip but the first is just normal merging on the highway before the event and the other is a few seconds during the event and never actually climbs to height window so nothing can be seen.

I guess waymo would already be contesting it if there wasn't any truth to it but I'm not sure it's as extreme as the media makes it look.

If anything, the media heavily downplays the crimes these cars commit with no consequences.

Can I book a high-speed chase with my own basic account, or do I need the Gold Premium Member plan?

HAHA!!

and I thought getting pulled over by a cop when I was in a NYC taxi was hilarious.

The best part is, it wasn’t the driver’s cab and he didn’t even have a driver’s license.

The cop just said, WTF is this and waved him on!!!!

IWW4 was almost a human trafficking victim, cop ignores it because they didn't want to do the paperwork, slaver is still spooked and lets IWW4 go but their clueless ass still hasn't caught on.

It took me far too long to realize that you were referencing the person's username and not some acronym.
