This changes nothing. Spend that political capital lefties. Lord knows the people in washington refuse to. You couldnt force me at gun point to support the GOP.

      Its not that they’re self driving; it’s that they’re covered in cameras and the cops have live access.

      Edit: and apparently root access to the whole car.

        It’s worse than that. The waymos were originally ordered by protesters wishing to leave the area. Sheriff didn’t like that, so they asked waymo directly to lock down the cars so they couldn’t be used to “flee the area”. Waymo complied and stranded people in the middle of this mess, and the crowd decided to help them out and express their displeasure at waymo for capitulation to the gestapo. I hope whatever insurance waymo has denies all their claims and forces them to eat the loss.

          I have not seen this information anywhere, it should be brought to attention more.

          Everywhere it is “rioters ordered the waymos, they arrived empty and then were set on fire”.

            Technically correct, but definitely missing context. I picked it up watching FilmThePoliceLA Sunday when he was talking to people around the waymos before thy were set on fire.

      Saw news report claiming the deportation was a rumor, the op never happened. Lemmy shows otherwise, what’s real?
