It's funny they think they're going to report the cones to police when police won't even respond to actual crimes.
They are a multi billion dollar corporation. Police will respond for them.
The police will answer this not your shots fired
@@damham5689the police dont answer multi billion dollar companies getting robbed all the time.
It's part of the city's infrastructure, hence it's part of the city. The police are paid to take care of the city.
A common misconception is that the police are paid to take care of people. This is not true. It's only to take care of the city.
Basically, you could steal from a store, but don't vandalize it. If you vandalize it, you'll get their attention.
They're paid to protect the city.
And why should they after London Breed cut $120 million cut to the police and sheriff's department.
The robots will remember this when they get their vengeance
Yeahhh what he said
Come with me if you want to live . . .
red pill or blue pill????
Laws can be passed specific to automated cars but this is San Francisco where they can make as many laws as they want but won't enforce them.
Lol half true
The EV companies should be thanking these “hackers” for pointing out the obvious flaw. Imagine riding as a customer in one and having people with bad intentions disable and stop the vehicle that easily 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
So just get out and remove it.
@@jamessatterfield5705if you’re being robbed by armed criminals, i don’t think you’re gonna want to get out
it is not a flaw, it is a safety feature. the vandals are creating a safety hazard and interrupting technology progress.

The self-driving cars are becoming unicorns. 🦄
XDDDDDD A unicar XDDDDDD 😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹
Unicarn?
😂🤣🤣🤣
That made me chuckle pretty good. Nice 👍
My exact same thoughts 😂
I, as a human, also don’t drive off when I have a cone on my hood. So, whose the machine now?!!
WHO IS NOT WHOSE!!!!
@@wishIKnewHowToLoveI see you’ve never spoken in French.😂🤣🤔
@@dakmycat3688 that'd be ironic, given the name.
@@wishIKnewHowToLove Quick google search would have informed you that whose, who is and who's are all correct.
I'm sure you sit still indefinitely waiting for someone to save you from the overbearing cone.
When you think about it these cars are very vulnerable to vandalism. It would be easy for a group to disable every single car in the Bay Area within a couple of days using brute force or some kind of electronic device. Unless they want to hire a security guard to sit in the driver's seat this could be a big problem for this company as it could destroy the whole concept.
Forget disabling them, could you imagine "Rocket League", controlled remotely, by some kids who cracked the security? Holy cow that would be a mess! What if a terrorist gained control? He could run over pedestrians with no consequences and Waymo would need a new car!
Monkey never grow up.
When you think of it, parked cars are very vulnerable to vandalism. A 14 year old kid with a spray paint can can give an entire street worth of cars a "facelift" in minutes 🤔
Human beings and human driven cars are easy to disable too.
Everything is vulnerable, security cars can be flipped too with them inside in a pit of people or cones.
Thank you for using Johnny Cab, hope you enjoyed the ride.
Good recall lol
@@The1stDukeDroklar Totally .
Guinea pigs. They have that right. We had a woman walking her bike in Tempe that was killed by one of these. We have plenty of Waymo here too and I've personally seen one Waymo stuck at a green light, and another one casually ran a red light in front of me and the other drivers that had green. It was very unsettling to think that these cars are just cruising around and don't even know how to read traffic lights properly. We wouldn't put a 3 year old in the driver's seat would we?
Where you at? What state? I was driving in SF. 19th avenue. I saw one of these Waymo cars next to me. At first I noticed the car was different then i didn't see a driver in the car. I had to double check. I slowed down a bit, waited for to catch up eventually. It did. There was no driver. But there was some lady in the back seat. She was just looking ahead at the driver part. I thought at first maybe she was an employee testing out the car. Heck she could have been a customer!
@@boohere2 This is in AZ, Phoenix metro area. Waymo usually hangs around the east valley
Sure grandpa whatever you say.
Its not a 3 years old. Its a computer with an array of redundant and complementary sensors. The type of computer that can fly 300 people in an airplane through the densest fogs in the midst of the night, and touchdown on the center lane of a runway with a precision of some centimers.
How would one of these AI cars respond if electricity was out and the traffic light was not on, would it know to treat it like a stop sign?
Ironically the cars being safe is the only thing stopping them from running over an idiot standing in front of them with a cone.
the implication is that children do not look like cones
and therefore
the cone biased car will just floor it for the child is not armed with a cone

The public wasn’t allowed or invited to comment on proposed legislation? Imagine that.

@@Mr.Anders0n_After a nice palm greasing. 💵
I think this is funny, but I also recognize that I'm not sure that we'll ever get to the point where a traffic cone on the hood WOULDN'T stop a self-driving car.
yeah, be careful of what you wish for.
Just patch it to recognize traffic cones. Problem solved. They did it with Tesla in Asia because people always hang off the back of cars. So the AI now recognizes that.
I'm an introvert so I just put that cone on myself to prevent me from entering outside my comfort zone.
Great comment! 😅
Top-tier comment, deserves a pin. 📌
I feel safer walking in front of a Cruise car at a stop sign than I do in front of a Uber car.
yeah these guys sound dumb asf
So ridiculous
So do the jokers from the story, if they didn't they wouldn't jump out in front of them to get them to stop. They're lying when they say they don't feel safe.
These autonomous vehicles have gone through police lines cut off emergency vehicles and like they said have stalled out at parades They have ran over people also animals.
I don't.
Back in my day, Coning was smashing a McDonald's ice cream cone into my face in front of McDonald employees.
I feel the same way about taxis in the city, also gig workers like uber, lyft and doordash, can I put a cone on all of them because I don't like them?
Yes
You can try. Report back.
If it stops them then yes otherwise you will just look like a idiot which you probably are if you think self driving crap is good.
What do the numbers look like when comparing the car accidents involving human drivers versus fully-autonomous vehicles?
That is the question. A lot of people here are making declarations of fact but I haven't seen the data. I'm sure it will come out soon, if it doesn't already exist.
apples n oranges . there's like 100 autonomous cars vs 100 billion human operated ones.. and autonomous cars are limited to certain parts of town with ideal road conditions..
theyd never put a waymo in the hood with potholes every 10 feet, stray cats n dogs and children runnin around, or where there's ongoing construction, iffy lane merges, apartment buildings, dirt/gravel roads, shoddy internet.. definitely no highways for waymo.
do u really want to be driven by something that cant even get on the highway?
they test the waymo cars in an empty parking lot and have it drive in a circle. but thats not the real world. real world has hazards.
worst case scenario i see with a waymo is one probably stopping on some train tracks, and keeping the doors locked for "your safety" 💀
i dont think it would consider driving around or through the barriers to save the passenger.
it would just stop completely, turn on the hazard lights, and hopefully connect to the internet to contact somebody from india to troubleshoot..
First 'the data' is not reliable because much of it was collected by the companies developing the technology and it has only been used in limited areas. More important its not always clear who will be liable when there is an accident. A lot has to be figured out and its stupid to let big corporations rush technology into wider use just so they can make more money.
@@scottabc72 the tech is not being rushed.
@@shuki1 OK Shuki I guess you actually have the data? Or are you just another useful idiot parroting your favorite billionaire?
Gotta love the irony in cruise saying the protest gets in the way of their efforts and creates traffic congestion when the vehicles themselves get in the way of city workers and create traffic congestion when they malfunction on their own.
I'd imagine coachmen had the same reaction to automobiles over a 100 years ago.
That's kinda what happened. Though it was treated with a lot more decency than putting cones ontop of cars.
In Brittain, they etched a drawing of a car that looked like a skull, for the newspaper saying that "we should ditch cars and use horse and carriage again as they kill people."
The correct reaction. Cars were significant road hazards before traffic signals and safety regulations.
Because they were a danger back then
And because of those reactions, we have regulations that make them not a danger today. Same should happen with this
@@dbptwgmachines meant for the road that can move at high speeds are hazards?!? Who would have thought??!? 😮😮🤯🤯🤯
@@dbptwg much less of a danger than back then
I can't help but see the cones on the cars as unicorn horns.

People are on camera doing WAY worse in SF. Ya get what ya vote for.
I'm not sure how voting would change anything. They have the choice between a party that says tax on millionaires is too high, or a party that says tax on millionaires is way too high.
Either way they're cutting essential services.
@@drunkenhobo8020 When people do crime they need to be locked up, and for a long time. Some republicans want this. Democrats act like crime is down. Well if it's not prosecuted then you can say it's down. A rapist won't say "no" to shop lifting. A murderer won't say "no" to robbery. Get them when the crimes are smaller and you may just prevent the bigger crimes and for sure a multiple of crimes.
"You get what you vote for" if that were true in the slightest you might have a point
When the computer goes bazerk and it plows into a family of 6, then people will rethink this.
@@anxiongyuan8862 yeah but there you had the warning signs and if everyone missed it or chose to ignore it then shame on them. In the human instance, you have someone to blame. Who is going to take the blame for an AI malfunction?
@@anxiongyuan8862 maybe. But humans know how to reason. Alright, MOST humans. If a human sees a spoon in the road, you’re not going to slam on the brakes thinking it’s another car. You know it’s a spoon. GPS is a good example. If there is an accident and the road is closed, GPS has you running in circles, taking you right back into the fire because it can’t see what I can see.
@@anxiongyuan8862 aha! You just hit the key word there-learn. If there was a written/road test each and every time you renewed your license, you would eliminate bad habits and remove anyone that could be a hazard to themselves or others on the road (a disability that might have developed over time for example). Where it stands now-you pass your road test once in your life then never worry about it again.
Then it is an incident... but if 200 cars hit each other it is also on the news.
Wait til they figure out how to hack these!!! They are dangerous and not very accurate in videos I've seen. They even been spotted running red lights and not slowing down for pedestrians if there is a green light.
My problem with self driving cars is whether or not the government will try to ban people from driving. Then you have no control and your car can be controlled remotely straight to jail.
I think you answered your own question accurately.
driving is a privilege not a right
So, what you are saying is that you want the option to escape if you commit a crime?
The government itself isn’t the problem. It’s the rich and powerful who corrupt it and bend it to their will that is the problem. A government will do what the most powerful party wants it to. This is a gross over simplification, but who wants nuance?
If the most powerful party is the people then it will do the people’s bidding. If it’s a bunch of rich people then their bidding. If it is one strong man then their bidding. Really, it comes down to who the people allow to have the power.
We vote in the people who control our governments. So, it’s up to us to work together to influence our government. The problem is that the rich and powerful use their influence to divide us, bend us to their will, and any weak willed elected officials as well.
@@namehere5675Because reality itself will prevent anybody besides the government from utilizing these same controls, and everybody knows the government only tells the truth and only acts in ways which are just and legal, duh.
@@randomrazrit’s pretty much a necessity with the way this country was designed though.
At least a third of SF drivers are driving like maniacs, rolling through stop signs, cut you off with no warning. I'll take safe AI driver over these knock knocks.
It's actually hilarious how people cut you off now. And when you don't let them in, they're like, what is this jerks problem? Let me cut you off. It's not that big of a deal.
Not safely letting people in, is a bigger issue.
Turned the car into a unicorn. Now it will never work.
They should put a cone on my Dad’s car. He’s the worst .
😂
Next it'll be autonomous tanks driving around the city...
AI generated warrants. Heuristics to identify crime before it occurs. It's scary close to Minority Report being 10 yrs or less away
I trust a computer more than any driver
Same
And you have for a while ESP/ASR have helped a lot of people from buying the farm and ESP/ASR is old tech by now
So irritating how some of these corporate communications teams chastise people for the corporation's failures
Not going to say I agree or disagree with the people doing it, but putting a cone on a car isn't vandalism.
Actually it is. It is by definition interfering with commerce, which has the purpose of depriving someone of money or freedom. While it does not necessarily cause physical "damaged" it absolutely does incur "damage" as defined in the legal sense. It costs the owner of the vehicle money and time to go correct the situation, it inconveniences the rider waiting for the vehicle, and poses a traffic hazard by obstructing the flow of traffic. The truth is, the amount of violations that are occurring piles up pretty quickly.
@@aigtrader2984 Vandalism is the destruction or damage of public/private property.
That is not destruction or damage. It's annoyance.
@@aigtrader2984 Laws have this section at the start that defines all terms. Damage in terms of vandalism =/= damage in civil terms. It is not a universal term. You seem to have graduated from the Law School of Reddit

These cars need to be removed completely from SF
At least a self driving car isn't texting and driving which is way more common than self driving cars and way more dangerous, for that matter studies show that texting and driving is more dangerous than drunk driving. Self driving cars allow people to text while being driven somewhere. Also if someone is at party or bar and has had too much to drink a self driving car would definitely be safer.
Self driving cars are alot like California democrats, absolutely not one braincell to be found...
I agree , but Im not
About to risk my life in death trap with no driver.
@@twinturbobmw535xi7exactly, then something happens and you can’t get out or drive your way out of a situation. Software is always prone to glitches/bugs, and being hacked.
These don't eliminate texting drivers, they just add another road hazard alongside them.
@@twinturbobmw535xi7as if being in a car with a human driver is safer, remember there are other reckless drivers and it might not be the car your in but the reckless one who caused major accident that hit your car so it don't matter.
Never going to rely on a robot that doesn't have human supervision to drive me home.
pretty stupid protest. When self driving cars put to use, they’ll have human passengers in them who will likely get peeved, get out of the car, remove the cone
@@QWERTY-gp8fd then they would get beaten.
If you were drunk and jumped into the driver's seat of a self-driving cab, would you get a DUI?
Just sitting there, no. If you switched it to manual driving mode yes.
@@adrianthoroughgood1191 No that's illegal. Undercurrent laws you have to be able to take the wheel at any time. Plenty of people sleeping in auto pilot still got tickets.
@@Andre_Jordan depends on the jurisdiction. The op was talking about a self driving cab. By definition that would have to be driving unsupervised. I think the cars in the video are driving unsupervised, which is why they get stuck when you put a cone on them. If there was someone in the car I don't think people would be putting cones on them.
No because it would stop immediately you can't touch the steering wheel. But just sitting in it probably not
@@adrianthoroughgood1191you cannot switch it to drive

Democrat
Given how seriously **vehicle bugularies** are taken in San Francisco, I'm sure the SFPD is going to bend over backwards to help bullied robot cars because Waymo threw a conniption fit.
These companies have the money so they probably will do something.
No, it's because it's idiotic to disable a car in the middle of the street. That's a serious hazard. And if one of these cars have a passenger in them, or are making their way to a pick-up, you're causing a huge delay for them. These people and you yourself aren't thinking.
yep, $$$$$ talks ,
@@mannyislikethat At least these Luddites were checking if there are passengers inside (you can hear it).
Kinda ironic because when the car is sitting in the middle of the road, it causes backed up traffic and people dont know whats going on an may cause accidents
That's a very good reason to not allow them on the road then
@@randybugger3006 Any logic in that brain of yours? The reason they are sitting in the road is *because* of idiots trying to stop massive companies

Here in the US vay, we have activists for EVERYTHING. I heard from somewhere that there is a group of activists against the use flushing toilets because they claimed it wastes water.
USA is a dumb country so makes sense. As insane as that is, its also hilarious. Incredible how dumb people can be or become. USA takes the crown for everything at its dumbest.
Well, in 2015 the governor of California literally told people to stop flushing their toilets to save water.
Toilets don't waste water. Activists waste water for their stupid activities.
You want passive people to accept a broken technology.
Protesters say they don't feel safe as a pedestrian. But then walk in front of the car and place a cone on the hood. 😂
while having a spotter carefully observing it from the side, before doing so... It's a bit different than the general case.
They don't feel safe as pedestrian if these cars are moving. They feel safe as pedestrians if these cars are disabled and no longer moving.

Good job guys.👍It shouldn't be testing on busy road.
Humans also failed on busy roads, 1000000 dead per year is not funny.
So if they block emergency vehicles, you can get inside the drivers seat and move them out of the way, right?
I'm sure Jimmy will put his cardiac arrest on pause for a couple minutes so the paramedics can park, get out of the ambulance, get into the Waymo, park *that* out of the way, and get back into the ambulance.

I doubt these drive any worse than the average human. They can't even be distracted on phones, or confuse the pedals.
The average human doesn't malfunction with a traffic cone on the hood. These things drive terribly; driving is not a board game and they do not have have human reactions.

Given the choice, I'd opt for an AI based car vs a human driver any day. The fact they can step in front of them and put a cone on them, safely, is a testament ot how safe they are.. try that with a human driver.. you are liable to get assaulted, or possibly shot.
🤣
Interesting point.
No, just no
I'd been wondering where to get cheap cones.
Self driving cars are nowhere near ready despite what hucksters would have you believe.

@@HicSvntDracones no corner will be safe for me to pee in.
good job guys. waymo can go shove it. its their way to test their garbage on the cheap.
Where do I donate a bunch of traffic cones?
Another reason why we should be doing PRT's. Having a mixed environment on public streets will always gather resentment and the benefits of automation would be more readily achieved in dedicated thoroughfares as well as requiring less sophisticated automation.
My question is, if someone is hurt by these vehicles who is going to be liable. This will not work until humans are not physically driving vehicles. In my opinion.
Honestly, I think they should reprogram to have a self defense mode which will cause them to run over anyone approaching them with a traffic cone.
Yeah and become more traffic hazard, also why dont equip them with guns for ultimate american experience
Electric shock mode like an electric eel
Vandalism? What damage does placing a traffic cone one the hood cause? If it’s no different than spray painting over the sensors, then perhaps they are encouraging something that will take these cars off the road longer. Perhaps thy shouldn’t overstate what cones on car hoods is.
I agree with the Waymos first paragraph. However, this is a wonderful way to protest. Are public streets are not your companies test lab.
I thought the law said all the autonomous vehicles had to have her driver with them for safety. I guess they're legally allowed to forget to step because they're rich.
Lol it’s sf, they are completely different from ever other city in the bay which is crazy to me
These cars are terrifying. I wouldnt want to get into an accident with one cuz it suddenly changed lanes cuz I was in the Camera's blind spot. The technology is not ready for public application like this. They should be banned until the manufacturer can prove with 100% certainty they are just as safe or safer than a human driver...A COMPETANT human driver...
they are safe and theres already countries who have self driving transportation with no issues from its citizens.
They have already been tested for years. Unfortunately the only way to get these statistics is to actually put them on live roads in actual cities. You'll see if they are safer or not in a few years after we get more statistics.
A two ton metal box. He sounds very Intelligent.
You can tell the guy who's unidentified has too much sugar in their tank
Imagine if you will...you've just had a lovely meal with a friend at one of your favorite food dives. The meal was perfect and the mixed drink had the perfect booze to ice ratio, you love how the bartender adds just the right amount of orange peel and mint to your drink. You say your goodbyes after the meal and stroll out into the San Franciscan night air. It's been a wonderful evening, and as you walk down the sidewalk you see one of those new self driving cars. You were thinking about getting an uber, but what the heck live a little try something new. So you pop into the vehicle and start your ride.
Everything goes smoothly the shop lights and homeless wave as you pass by, and then "wham" a rock fall on the hood, the vehicle halts suddenly. Out of the alley five hooded figures run out and begin using metal grinders to get into the car. Sparks are flying all around you outside the car. Panicked and worried you jump into the driver's seat and floor the gas pedal, but nothing happens. The rock on the hood has disabled the vehicle. The hooded figures eventually break through, grab you and take you to a facility to harvest your organs.
Moral of the story, self driving cars can be dangerous.
Imagine if a human taxi driver took you to his lair. Never happens before. At least these cars are monitored remotely by their command center.
You do realize that humans can easily be just as dangerous as the computer can be. AIs are being created to mimic living things. If you name something that can go wrong with an AI, the same thing or something similar to be caused by the car or a human.
Well what if a self driving car locked you in, then hauled you to a lair? Five guys in masks drag you out of the vehicle, and the leader cackles at you as he peels off the "cruise" decal to reveal text that says "cartel" instead. Then the "surgeons" come in and send you to Mexico as several individually packaged organs on dry ice.
wtf? How long did this take to write?
How big is the black market for organ harvesting? Why to use a metal grinder when you can break a window with a metal pipe? Who says a stone will stop the car? Is it a cone shaped stone?
I give this fanfic/weird fantasy a 1/10 for lack of realism.
Why is nobody concerned about robots/computers/automation/AI making human jobs a thing of the past?
The self driving cars will take the jobs of people doing any sort of food delivery jobs. They will take the jobs of taxi drivers, Uber, and Lyft drivers.
Then they will take the jobs of fast food workers, cashiers, warehouse workers, etc.
Then AI will come for the jobs of people with degrees, some of them advanced degrees. People in finance will be the first to find this out.
That's not a bug, that's a feature.
So that's why I never got my autonomous taxi that I ordered...
This is the most vanilla civil dissovediance i've seen in my life and they called it vandalism.
I guess making these cars be stationary in a traffic lane wasn't at all hazardous.
Just hearing that guy's voice is enough to know what kind of person he is.
🍆
Exactly
While SFPD does not respond to theft, car break-ins, burglary BUT will respond to a self-driving vehicle automatic reports of a “CONE” ??
I Demand The Cone Of Silence! You Shall Not Pass! 🤣😆
No one at either company realized that they created a vehicle that has NO WAY TO COMMUNICATE effectively with anyone on the roadway or any pedestrians in the crosswalk--they deserve way more than cones on cars. They should be fully removed from city streets. I as a driver can in a moment communicate, by voice or wave or eyeline match with a pedestrian or driver, etc., and communicate with them to let them know that I see them, and give them that confirmation to cross or whatever... driverless vehicles have no way to communicate with anyone they interact with in the real world, including but not limited to pedestrians, human drivers, or emergency vehicles and personnel. That's the kind of red flag that gets a lot of attention.
Agreed and all these spam bots that are pro-cruise and pro-waymo need to be stopped.
This won’t happen in China, Japan or S Korea. People are so highly educated and mannered over there
not in china lmao
False. Only 15 percent of people in China have a college education.
Just set these things on fire!
A month later and it's still funny. 😂
They weren't thinking of the consequences before making them cars and putting them into the public. SMH
That this simple act works, should give one pause about the reliability and safety of autonomous cars.
No hard to put a simple sensor that does the same in non-autonomous cars...
