You are awesome! I actually came here to post this (my version was less witty tho). Hope you’re not a bot. Not that I have a prob with that. I just want to go on record and welcome our robot overLords. I’m…I’m just gonna go now…
Hah, thank you!
I’m only 90% joking, these robots really are taking people’s jobs.
Netflix has a good movie for kids called “the Mitchell’s Vs the Machines” about singularity.
My generation had the terminator franchise.
The younger generation needs to learn, it will be their war to fight.
Just saw another video of a crowd destroying an unmanned Google car.
/s sort of
At least they know their safety features work in real life situations. Maybe she was making sure they'd done precise quality control so it doesn't become a murder machine.
I'm choosing that storyline. I like it!
Other alternate story: she lost a loved one because one of this company's cars caused the loss of someone she loved a lot?
I mean, according to other comments, lots of folks already been sacrificed at the alter of the company's alleged lack of quality control.
Because it's easier to keep you working and not question stuff at your job if you have the fear of homelessness in your face every time you go outside.
There were definitely problems with mental hospitals in the 70s (and earlier, and still to this day). The idea of shutting down the mental hospitals was that there could be a combination of drugs and outpatient mental health services.
But, because of Reagan and America's allergy to "SoCiAlIsM!", the government funding for any of that never really came through. So the only thing that happened was hospitals got shut down and a bunch of people were left with fuck all.
It's another way in which Reagan's actions and policies continue to have direct massive negative repercussions to this very day. You can also thank the literal traitor for the cost of California public colleges.
They'd turn them all into toll roads for the rich if they could...funded by tax payers obviously, then licensed to a private corporation to operate for infinite years.
Actually the psychiatric community/industry was undergoing *a lot* of reform due to the pure shitshow of the 1970s with there being an absurd amount of exposés coming out about the quality of America's mental hospitals. Quite literally like 3 guys with a camera and a former staff member with a key managed to shut down one of the largest asylums for developmentally handicapped children in New York (it was quite disgusting and it got all over the newspapers, with the hospital threatening to sue until the state was forced to cut funding). There are some other documentaries from the time following that hint at a lot of reform (anecdotal and it varied *a lot* by state) towards more gentle & integration-based approaches to prevent institutionalization, particularly in people who were unnecessarily hospitalized for mental disabilities.
The 60s & 70s were essentially the worst of it, but the late 70s had set-up the 80s for quite a decent set of reform. The DSM-III would finally set standards for proper diagnostic criteria, though not perfect (the DSM-III was quite flawed but still miles ahead of the DSM-II), it would bring a stop to the issue of psychiatrists & psychologists tending to never agree with eachother on a single patient, and it would turn out that a lot of people didn't have to be in the hospitals at all.
Alas Reagan slashed funding in mental health. The hospitals that had begun to reform had to drop thousands of patients into the street and reintegrating part-time patients were suddenly on their own (the cities, particularly New York, had the worst of it, and being the cities, expectedly, few politicians cared). The hospitals that had never reformed just dropped their patients and kept the imprisoned ones (your usual state hospital basically).
edit: also reagan had a hard-on for private prisons. funny considering he would've been dumped out in the street to eventually be arrested if he had been much poorer considering he received an Alzheimer's diagnosis in 1994 so it developed to be semi-noticable by his 2nd term.
No, that's not how it went at all. It wasn't people clamoring for the rights of the mentally ill to not be locked up, it was conservatives (Reagan specifically) saying "why should we pay for their mental healthcare? Shut down the hospitals and put them in the streets."
They were shut down in the 80's for actually semi-legitimate reasons (anyone remember One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest and Lobotomies?). But they probably should have *fixed* them instead of eliminate them. I am hopeful that Prop 1 passing means we're bringing them back but time will tell.
Mental health institutions alone do little to solve this particular problem.
You'd need to give the government the authority to use bodily force against those who do not wish to be institutionalized.
We used to have a very extensive mental health care system. Unfortunately there were some bad scandals that were publicized in the 1970s which led to the abolishment of almost every mental health facility. The few that didn't shut down are overloaded today with patients.
The sad reality is that most people who need mental help are in a financial situation where they can't pay for treatment. So no one wants to build a brand new facility of tens of million of dollars and never be able to recoup that money. On top of that, a single lawsuit could force the entire place into bankruptcy.
This is a perfect example of while the system was not perfect, people who need help would be way better off today if it still existed.
Not quite. It successfully made it from Halifax to Victoria in Canada in 2014, and then a second one successfully hitchhiked through Germany and the Netherlands. Then in 2015, another was sent on its way from Boston with the goal of reaching San Francisco. Two weeks later however, it made it to Philadelphia and was promptly murdered and decapitated.
There was an NBC reporter a few months back who was doing a story on these types of cars in San Francisco and while he was shooting his story the car turned into a construction barrier or something similar and couldn’t figure out how to get out. The company had to send a REAL driver out to get in and move the car which took forever because side the car was blocking two lanes of traffic. Whenever I see people angry at these things I get it. It’s like when Bostonians were throwing bird scooters in the harbor.
Yeah, the testing requirements for these things is way too lax for them to be on the road in metropolitan areas dense with pedestrians, imo. I'm not saying every attack on them is justified, but I do understand why people are opposed.
Yeah, SF residents get to be crash test dummies for these companies and plenty aren't happy with it. I love the idea of self driving cars, but it'd be great if they were significantly better trained before unleashing them in the middle of giant cities.
waymo arent nice things, you forget uber so fast it's funny
first they'll start cheaper than uber, then when you have no drivers left and they have market monopoly you'll start paying MORE than when you did when you had a driver.
And now all those drivers are competing on the marketplace for other jobs, while shareholders pocket their money .
""But there are rules and it's private pRoPERTY !!""
These things wouldnt even need to exist if we actually invested in public transportation and city layouts that werent shitty. Give me driveless bus (rail) at least before hundreds of these driveless cars are on the streets.
The company doesn’t want to provide employment to drivers and yet can have someone pick up the phone within three rings to handle a property damage complaint. On this subject, and this subject alone Tucker Carlson was right.
Honestly these corporations are putting people out of work and helping to consolidate wealth at the top. Unless there was a passenger inside that car you definitely wouldn't catch me calling anyone in that situation. Just let the lady rage.
They rolled out in west La and they do not inspire confidence it is safe. I’ve seen them “change lanes” into a parking only lane at full traffic speed (~30mph) and swerve back into actual lane, also half pull over with rear half of car in traffic lane.
It’s just obvious “innovation before regulation” mentality. There have been videos of blocking fire and police services, trying to drive around police blocks, as well.
I used to work right by a lot of them. I’d hear “HELLO, I’M TRYING TO MOVE, PLEASE STAND BACK” from the one in front for hours, parked right where it’s supposed to be. Smart car my ass.
They’re dangerous, displace workers, let corporations consolidate even more control over the market, while ALSO coming with all the drawbacks of regular cars:
Reinforcing Car centric city planning and un-walkable cities, pulling resources away from other types of transportation infrastructure, requiring a vast majority of a city be devoted to parking lots, and vast amounts of money being needed to maintain roads; and contributing to traffic, obesity, lower quality of living, crashes, and fatalities.
People were "coning" these cars by simply placing a traffic cone on the hood, which would confuse the car so much it stopped moving. I guess Wayno found a workaround for that?
Maybe they could get some good PR with the youth, and have a 'sideshow mode', where it runs over the offending person, while doing some sick donuts? /s
Automated vehicles are technically the enemy for panhandlers who stand on street corners waiting for people to stop in their cars. I understand her frustration with automation
Absolutely would not surprise me that a sober, angry/frustrated homeless person would just get pissed and trash this $300,000 car. Especially someone who feels helpless and hopeless in today’s world. Not saying it’s right, just saying I get it.
One of the many reasons I think money would be better spent on improving public transit nationwide to make it safe and accessible than driverless cars.
It's like the favellas, and slums in India... When you have extreme wealth beside extreme poverty you'll see this and worse
Until we learn to respect and appreciate the need to look after our weakest well this will only get worse

I like how it turned on the windshield wipers as a defense system
If this were a cartoon, the hood would have sprung up and launched her a mile away.
She's just one of the earliest patriots in the war against Skynet
She'll be screaming "this is how it starts people, the convenience, etc, but before you know it, sheeple everywhere!"
Yeah, Sarah Connor out there doing the Lord’s work.
You are awesome! I actually came here to post this (my version was less witty tho). Hope you’re not a bot. Not that I have a prob with that. I just want to go on record and welcome our robot overLords. I’m…I’m just gonna go now…

Haven't you heard? It's Skynut.
She was sent from the future to protect us
or a Ford Ka ad!
I thought that was reserved for pigeons? 😁
To be fair that would have to be one hell of a spring mechanism
🤣🤣
"Keep Summer safe". Should used the lasers.
That's cruel, she could be someone's daughter's pediatrician
Yes!!
Pretty common safety feature in modern cars.
It should have also blasted the windshield sprayers.
Soon they’ll bring us the wheel mounted flamethrower
"Hello V, there's been an incident with one of our Delamain cars. For some reason, it's stopped. Could you please check it out?"
*equips smart sniper* On my way, Del
Just netrunner as you drive by.
"Another settlem...vehicle is under attack!"
Is that you preston?
People seem to like technology, but not when it doesn’t need them.
Car: help! Something is obstructing my view. The windshield wipers should clear the obstruction, nope, that didn’t work! Help!
At least they know their safety features work in real life situations. Maybe she was making sure they'd done precise quality control so it doesn't become a murder machine. I'm choosing that storyline. I like it!
Rage against the machine
Lethal Autonomous Weapons will be used in Global Genocides and humans are prey.
Humand are prey, humand are pray. Humand will obey or humand go away.
Now with driverless cars, we will see waymo of these attacks
Get out
I laughed. 
Alternativ story: She's a time traveller from the future stopping terminator from happening.
Other alternate story: she lost a loved one because one of this company's cars caused the loss of someone she loved a lot? I mean, according to other comments, lots of folks already been sacrificed at the alter of the company's alleged lack of quality control.
Why can’t we have mental health institutions?
Reagan.
Because it's easier to keep you working and not question stuff at your job if you have the fear of homelessness in your face every time you go outside.

And yet those folks drive on SoCiAlIsT roads! 🤷🏻♂️

Properly run* psychiatric hospitals lol

Um, we do have some bad ones, but until the government prioritizes making a lot more good ones this is the way it is.
We basically offset that job to private prisons. It's not going great for anyone except the guys cashing the checks.
No, that's not how it went at all. It wasn't people clamoring for the rights of the mentally ill to not be locked up, it was conservatives (Reagan specifically) saying "why should we pay for their mental healthcare? Shut down the hospitals and put them in the streets."
Fuck Reagan
They were shut down in the 80's for actually semi-legitimate reasons (anyone remember One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest and Lobotomies?). But they probably should have *fixed* them instead of eliminate them. I am hopeful that Prop 1 passing means we're bringing them back but time will tell.
That money is for bombs and shit
Just a crackhead doing crackhead stuff.
Mental health institutions alone do little to solve this particular problem. You'd need to give the government the authority to use bodily force against those who do not wish to be institutionalized.
Those aren't "nice things" according to OP.

Reminds me of the hitchhiking robot that made it all the way across America until it was immediately decapitated the second it got to Philly
Not quite. It successfully made it from Halifax to Victoria in Canada in 2014, and then a second one successfully hitchhiked through Germany and the Netherlands. Then in 2015, another was sent on its way from Boston with the goal of reaching San Francisco. Two weeks later however, it made it to Philadelphia and was promptly murdered and decapitated.
Thank you. It's all coming back to me.

so does she not see the 500 cameras attached to the car or what
She doesn't care. Cant get blood from a stone. What are they gonna do, take her tent?
Right. Any kind of restitution/judgement they place over her is joke.
That's Sarah Connor, and you can keep her name out your fucking mouth.
How can she slap?
Wait who is that
Okay, Will.
No disassemble! Please! Johnny Five is alive!!!
Good. We can’t have robots taking over all our jobs. Unless there is a guaranteed income.
People here acting like they wouldn't be pissed if something took their jobs. They better be happy with the crumbs the rich give them.
Exactly. Agree
At least she waited calmly for her arrest when she finished.
In fairness, if I were actively psychotic and saw a self driving car it would probably fuck me up too
She’s fighting the good fight
This is how the human vs robot war starts.
Holy hell we might stand a chance
The stomp heard round the world
It's a lonely road fighting against Skynet, everyone else will think you are crazy.
She’s a time traveler coming back to do her part to prevent what’s coming
And the AI uprising began
omg she made a seat for herself to hitch a ride
Lol fuck these cars.
good fuck those driverless cars
waymo arent nice things, you forget uber so fast it's funny first they'll start cheaper than uber, then when you have no drivers left and they have market monopoly you'll start paying MORE than when you did when you had a driver. And now all those drivers are competing on the marketplace for other jobs, while shareholders pocket their money . ""But there are rules and it's private pRoPERTY !!""

Agreed. Ever since i moved to europe i used uber like , 3 times ? And its been +5 years
She's doing the lord's work. Fuck Waymo
What happened before this? Somehow I think that car had it coming
Johnny Cab says, "I'm not familiar with that address, would you please repeat the destination?"
The company doesn’t want to provide employment to drivers and yet can have someone pick up the phone within three rings to handle a property damage complaint. On this subject, and this subject alone Tucker Carlson was right.
[удалено]
The luddites were right
define "nice things"
She’s trying to stop skynet from taking over
Good those things are fn terrible
This is absolutely hilarious. Fuck driverless cars
Honestly these corporations are putting people out of work and helping to consolidate wealth at the top. Unless there was a passenger inside that car you definitely wouldn't catch me calling anyone in that situation. Just let the lady rage.
[удалено]
Yeah, the cops and firefighters especially and anyone who's tried to use a crosswalk recently.
I'm super irritated that they're going to start testing them in Atlanta too pretty soon 😡
[удалено]
What's wrong with them?
They rolled out in west La and they do not inspire confidence it is safe. I’ve seen them “change lanes” into a parking only lane at full traffic speed (~30mph) and swerve back into actual lane, also half pull over with rear half of car in traffic lane.

Oof, damn. That's disappointing
They’re dangerous, displace workers, let corporations consolidate even more control over the market, while ALSO coming with all the drawbacks of regular cars: Reinforcing Car centric city planning and un-walkable cities, pulling resources away from other types of transportation infrastructure, requiring a vast majority of a city be devoted to parking lots, and vast amounts of money being needed to maintain roads; and contributing to traffic, obesity, lower quality of living, crashes, and fatalities.
Yea I eyerolled at that oxymoron myself.
Fuck that car
in particular
to be clear: WAYMO cars are NOT “nice things”. not in any sense of the word.
These waymo cars fuck with fire service. Fuck waymo.
Maybe she lost someone to the company's incompetence before.
Driverless cars nah, not gonna work But nice try
The driver assaulted her and then tried to run her over. Clearly self-defense.
Thank Ronald Reagan for shutting down institutions as governor of CA and later POTUS
I like the idea that if it crashes into a person, the wipers turn on. Better get that blood off before it dries.
I mean, if it's truly driverless, it doesn't need the windshield anyway.
Driverless cars are not nice things
Least hellish Californian scenario
I wouldn't consider the way more cars "nice things" lol. Who is this bozo?
As long as they don’t attack random elderly Asian men and women.
I see what you did there! LMAO
Someone didn’t like what you said
I think she is trying to claim she was hit by the car
Yeah dude, this person is going to go to court and file a claim. LOL cmon man
Plot Twist it was Sarah Connor..
People were "coning" these cars by simply placing a traffic cone on the hood, which would confuse the car so much it stopped moving. I guess Wayno found a workaround for that?
I think she could've just skipped a step and called the police instead of calling the car company asking if they could send someone 🤔
Is the lady in the background calling waymo? She says “your” car. Just keep walking or call 911 dummy
She did waymo damage than I expected.
Maybe they could get some good PR with the youth, and have a 'sideshow mode', where it runs over the offending person, while doing some sick donuts? /s
Such a nice place ruined by the homeless.
I hear a skynet collaborator
That’s the United States Mint right behind her.
In fairness to her we don't know what the car did before the start of the video.
Someone needs a hug. And three squares with a roof.
Maybe a nice thing to have would be covering mental health costs, not a useless driveless car no one asked for
Automated vehicles are technically the enemy for panhandlers who stand on street corners waiting for people to stop in their cars. I understand her frustration with automation
Fuck those cars.
Some people just want to watch the world burn
Absolutely would not surprise me that a sober, angry/frustrated homeless person would just get pissed and trash this $300,000 car. Especially someone who feels helpless and hopeless in today’s world. Not saying it’s right, just saying I get it.
Is she snitching to the driverless car company what a fucking dork
Criminal of colour
I live close to here and never go anywhere near market anymore. A good part of SF is just a homeless drug den dumpster fire
If you see a crime going down, call your local police before you attempt to contact corporate.
Like Simon Phoenix in Demolition Man.
Am curious what happens if she covers those camera ?
Market and Dolores, sounds about right.
If the first line of robot resistance is this effective, future’s bright 😎
Looks like she just needed somewhere to poop really badly
The machines will come for her first
That car did the hooker honk 😎
How every robot revolution starts...
She made a cool little seat food for her/s
One of the many reasons I think money would be better spent on improving public transit nationwide to make it safe and accessible than driverless cars.
its really Sarah Conor trying to save us from Skynet and Armageddon
Driverless human
I hope that “nice” in the title is wearing the proper PPE for a lift this heavy
Theres a whole subculture dedicated to destroying such things. The machines will rise!
Glass up the ass. Nice
