At least in Toronto traffic they’ll mostly be capped at 10km/h, doubt they’ll have any high speed collisions with the terrible traffic here lol.

You are confusing predictable continuous low level noise for sheer chaos. The chaotic potential Montreal has in winter, and it uses, is spectacular. The fact that it is so unpredictable in exercising this merely contributes to the problem.

Freezing rain, for example. My god.

I find the anarchist traffic of developing world cities to be more aligned with natural game theory principles than proscriptive protocols. For a computer it may be simpler.

Self driving is all tactics and no strategy. Waymo would freeze solid when confronted with several hundred motor-scooters and dozens of tuk-tuks.

Waymo freezes up when car in front of it decides to turn and show blinker last minute and line next to it is empty.

Which is weird because humans would take a few seconds to check the line and switch it, while Waymo already knows its empty and not taking an advantage of it.

Your being racist assuming people crom the 2nd and 3rd world are all not white. Shame on you.

They don't have driving tests in Montreal? (Or Quebec?) Anyone can just drive?

Otherwise you're just being racist.

I didn't say anything about skin color. You're being racist by assuming it was about skin color (see how that can go?)

Maybe I should've said "xenophobic" instead of "racist". The point stands.

It's interesting you said "shame on you" to me (and someone else as well) - a person who used a slightly inaccurate word to describe a bad thing - instead of to the person actually doing a bad thing.

Think of what that says about your priorities. What do you actually want to be?
