"... A driverless Waymo vehicle subsequently proceeded to meander into the middle of things, like an autonomous Mr. Magoo.
“It doesn’t know what to do!” shouts an officer caught in the background of the body-worn camera footage. “I’ll pop a flare!” responds the cop wearing the camera. “There’ll be hella smoke in the front.”
He then commands the vehicle to “stay,” and places a flare in front of it. But it does not obey, hella smoke and all (“ah, fuck!”).
“Got a bit of a pickle,” he radios to a dispatcher. “Got an autonomous vehicle, the Waymo, it’s inching slowly and closely to one of the main water lines that the SF Fire just charged. Can’t run it over. Is there a way you can contact a responder to come out and disable this vehicle? I don’t trust this AI.”

Just randomly today I watched the wonderful Rick Beato video on my favorite song, “If you could read my mind,” by Gordon Lightfoot.
I just read that Mr. Lightfoot passed away today. RIP to a great singer-songwriter.
