You may say it's a conspiracy theory but Waymo is arriving in Toronto and we have this master plan to dismantle our bike lanes happening at the same time Waymo has issues with San Francisco bike lanes https://futurism.com/future-society/waymo-bike-lanes-traffic We start removing our bike lanes in #toronto the same day Waymo puts their first cars in the streets for testing (plan to rollout by 2028) Yes I am suspicious AF #waymo #ontario #biketooter #onpoli

Ein Robotaxi in San Francisco hat kürzlich selbst die Polizei gerufen – und das aus gutem Grund. 🚕 Zum Artikel: https://heise.de/-11451717?wt_mc=sm.red.ho.mastodon.mastodon.md_beitraege.md_beitraege&utm_source=mastodon #waymo #robotaxi #autonomesfahren #sanfrancisco #ki

I have a business idea. These Waymo and robo taxis are terribly expensive. The vehicle is $100,000+, you need a big lot for charging and cleaning, all these programmers for the software and billion dollar data centers. Why don't we give a person a $20,000 used car and a radio, have a person with a phone in your city. You call the phone person, request a ride, they radio the driver to pick you up and give you a ride to your destination. Much cheaper and lots of local jobs. #robotaxi #waymo

Waymo has started lobbying the city of Toronto and the province of Ontario to start operating in our streets soon. This is why we have started our "Say No to Waymo" campaign Read our open letter and sign our petition here: https://techfordemocracy.ca/2026/04/29/say-no-to-waymo/ Boost appreciated! #waymo #toronto #selfdriving #autonomousDriving

Wir haben es gewagt…. #Waymo

ABC7: Shirtless man destroys Waymo in busy East Hollywood intersection, video shows https://abc7.com/post/shirtless-man-destroys-waymo-busy-east-hollywood-intersection-video-shows-lapd-arrests-vandalism/19495667/ #waymo

"The teens allegedly were drinking alcohol and shooting Orbeez beads as they rode in the driverless car." So a Waymo representative called the cop but also LOCKED THE 15-YEAR OLD IN THE CAR SO THEY COULDN'T GET OUT. And lied to them claiming the vehicle was "experiencing mechanical issues." So Waymo not only can and WILL report whatever you do or say in the car to the police but they won't let you leave until they give you to the cops. https://www.wpxi.com/news/trending/waymo-car-delivers-misbehaving-teens-california-police/UCOGYIJRHJG2LMHYWJQ3PH7VEY/ #police #fascism #waymo #car

The topic of my national network radio tech segment this coming Monday will be how Alphabet (Google) Waymo diverted the trip of two misbehaving teenagers to turn them in to the police, and the many issues this raises about what robotaxis see and do and who controls them. #google #alphabet #waymo

#Waymo is so far refusing to answer questions regarding their kidnapping of two misbehaving teenagers and turning them over to police. Waymo has not as far as I know explained how they were alerted to the behavior, or how police became involved. Police officials are contradicting earlier reports from various media that the teens were locked in the vehicle. However, many reports are that the teens were lied to by Waymo and told there was a "maintenance issue" and then taken to a parking lot and stopped. They were apparently not informed that police were called, as Waymo was at this point obviously acting as an agent of law enforcement. At last report I've seen the teens have not been charged. Would a human cab driver have taken this kidnapping/lying approach? I would think it unlikely. We need to ask #Alphabet/Google CEO Sundar how far he'd go to satisfy the Trump administration in terms of Waymo-enabled kidnapping.

Ray Bradbury on police robocars Worth noting that the great Ray Bradbury, in a short story called "The Pedestrian", postulated automated robocars prowling around to kidnap anyone seen to be behaving in "unusual" ways. That was originally published in 1951. -L #waymo

"...Two teenagers face possible charges after they were caught drinking and shooting a toy gun from inside a driverless Waymo vehicle Monday afternoon, an incident that prompted the company to remotely halt the car and trap the passengers inside until police arrived..." https://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/waymo-teens-drinking-shooting-objects-san-mateo/4110140/ #waymo

HORRIFIC: Waymo robotaxi kidnaps and imprisons teenagers This story is much worse than I realized. Those drinking teenagers who were shooting Orbeez from a Waymo were not just reported to the police, Google/Alphabet literally kidnapped them, locking them helplessly in the vehicle, until police arrived. This is a scenario I predicted years ago, robocars kidnapping passengers and taking them against their will to "authorities". Imagine what Trump's DOJ would do with this power. Despite the fact that these teens were engaging in low level misbehavior, Google/Alphabet is NOT supposed to be an arresting agent of the government. What if one of those teens had suffered a medical emergency locked in that vehicle? THIS IS HORRIFIC. https://www.wpxi.com/news/trending/waymo-car-delivers-misbehaving-teens-california-police/UCOGYIJRHJG2LMHYWJQ3PH7VEY/ #waymo #google #alphabet #robotax #kidnapping

Ah, good. We're now in the "robotaxi will call the cops on you" phase of the experiment. This was always bound to happen. https://www.wpxi.com/news/trending/waymo-car-delivers-misbehaving-teens-california-police/UCOGYIJRHJG2LMHYWJQ3PH7VEY #robotaxi #waymo #av
