2 Saw a Waymo in downtown SD the other day. First I'd noticed, I think. Human behind wheel. Didn't crash.

Stumbled across a whole parking lot full of them up in da Wood one rainy evening a while back. Tragicomic "M. Hulot meets Roy Batty" interaction between carbots and their handful of oddball human servitors. Ended up soaked. Like gears in rain.
