Waymo Suspends Freeway Rides Due to Construction Zone IssuesAdded:
Let's go on to the next and talk about Waymo temporary suspending freeway rides.
>> A couple of weeks ago they pulled all their cars, actually recalled all the cars in the nation due to these cars not being able to differentiate between deep puddle and a little puddle.
And they got stuck in water.
And so they put them back out and now they're recalling them or they're suspending freeway trips and in LA they can do freeway trips by the way.
Um due to the fact that they cannot recognize construction zones on the freeways. I'm going like imagine that disaster.
And so but you know what it is? They rewrite the software. These are smart people. They're going to put them back out again.
And yeah, I know you like this story.
>> I do. I do. I love it.
I find this fantastic and go Waymo. It's awesome. It's good to hear that you are no longer able to operate on the freeways. I appreciate that.
>> Yeah, go drive into every puddle, huh?
>> Get the Get the cones ready. Get the cones ready.
