One thing that I was thinking about as I walked around downtown, the somewhat gloomy summer fog helping to hold the fumes and the apocalyptic mood from last nights’ violence in the air, multiple helicopters and an airborne drone circling, was the way that protestors had turned the self-driving cars against the state they were designed to appease.
The gossip i picked up a few days ago watching the protest live was that a few people had called up the waymos looking to get out, and the sheriff asked waymo in turn to lock down the vehicles so nobody could use them to leave. Protesters didn’t like camera banks parked in the middle of them and decided to burn them to the fuckin ground for helping the police
Really interesting read, thank you for sharing
