Meh.
The critical factor for a self-driving car is that their safety record per mile beats that of a human. They're already well past that bar.
They'll fail in different scenarios than a human will, but any failure that comes up at this point, unless it realistically stands to change that, isn't something that I'm going to get excited about.
Looks like they handled this as well as they could have. I see Waymos every day driving around town, and I love them. It’s so neat to watch cars drive themselves around, and I’ve ridden in them a few times. Excited to see where they go in the future.

Probably into the same truck.
Into the chosen one. Become one with it.
TO VALHALLA!
Waymo: WITNESS ME!!!!!
I get that it’s fun to hate on self driving cars, but the article makes it sound like the car wasn’t able to anticipate a towed vehicle swinging into its lane when the tow truck made a right turn.
That’s one hell of an edge case, I’m not surprised to hear about minor issues like this. You can hate all you want, but I’ve had Waymos driving around in my city for the past 5 years and I have no problem with them.
