vincentwilson+FollowWaymo Robotaxis: Easy Targets or Tech Scapegoats?Seeing Waymo robotaxis set ablaze in LA raises tough questions: Are driverless cars just unlucky bystanders, or are they lightning rods for anti-tech sentiment? Beyond the headlines, burning electric vehicles isn’t just dramatic—it’s dangerous. The lithium batteries inside burn hotter and longer, releasing toxic gases that threaten health and challenge firefighters. Is this the new face of protest, or are we missing the real risks of targeting smart mobility? #Waymo #ElectricVehicles #TechDebate #Tech51Share
Anthony Morris+FollowAre Robotaxis Really Safer Than Us?Waymo just dropped some eye-opening stats: after 56.7 million miles, their driverless cars are outperforming humans in avoiding serious crashes and injuries.

Christine Cobb+FollowWaymo rides in SF: Cameras, calls, and strict rulesSticking your head out the window or skipping your seatbelt in a Waymo self-driving car?

How do you feel about being monitored inside your ride? Would this change how you act in a driverless taxi? #Entertainment #TVSeries #Waymo00Share
