This seems solvable, no? Not saying it isn’t really damn important, but those have stop signs and flashing lights. It seems like they can fix that.


Solvable yes, but it's a perfect example of it not being solved yet despite this person's anecdotes.

Engineering problems aren't limited to a single solution anyhow. Anyone ruling out a camera based solution has very little imagination.


Unless it’s a mathematical proof, solved usually means works in the overwhelming majority of cases. It’s solved for all intents and purposes.


Waymo has barely seen the US. They just got on the highway and don't operate anywhere with snow.

If that's your definition of solved, be my guest, but it's a pretty silly one.


Highway? They’re in San Francisco my guy.

Detroit, Denver, Philadelphia and DC this year.


Yeah, it's been a month.


Indeed. The problem was already fixed.
