Nashville videos show Waymo vehicle mishaps. What drivers should know Autonomous vehicles from Waymo and Tesla have recently been under scrutiny due to mishaps and safety concerns as users and bystanders record odd driving behaviors from the self-driving vehicles. Waymo, a subsidiary of Google's parent company Alphabet Inc. is a public commercial robotaxi company that offers driver-less rideshare services. The autonomous vehicle rideshare company operates in over 10 American cities including one of its most recent additions: Nashville, as of April 7. Here's what Tennesseans need to know about Waymo autonomous vehicles and why some have concerns regarding the innovative technology. Waymo autonomous vehicles already glitching after Nashville launch Citizens have taken to social media and YouTube to post videos of abnormal driving behavior from Waymo autonomous vehicles. In the video above, a Waymo autonomous vehicle drives into a construction zone and is chased down by a construction worker. The vehicle allegedly damaged fresh asphalt after ignoring signage and driving norms that human drivers can easily abide. Another TikTok video showed a Waymo in Nashville struggling to deal with road construction. There are several videos of Waymo vehicles blocking intersections and holding up traffic posted by drivers. Waymo maps new areas "with incredible detail, from lane markers to stop signs to curbs and crosswalks" according to the company website. Waymos also use artificial intelligence and real-time sensor data to make driving decisions. Since Waymo vehicles have been seen struggling to navigate around construction sites in Nashville, it's clear that the technology is still fallible despite its progress in recent years. Are Waymo autonomous vehicles safe? Waymo has covered millions of cumulative miles between its many rides in big cities. It's generally considered safe to use, but the autonomous vehicles haven't been completely free of occasional mishaps that cause safety concerns.
