Here’s a Waymo Autonomous Car Getting Repeatedly Confused by Cones, Fleeing

The video below is the best example of the current limitations of AVs, as well as of the current state of the technology.

Despite the strange and repeated occurrence, the Waymo never does anything to put the passenger at serious risk. “Our team has already assessed the event and improved our operational process,” the company adds.
