What's really bizarre is that #Alphabet, which operates #Waymo and #Google, should certainly understand the problems that occur with tech as it scales upward. Yet Waymo seems oblivious (or pretends to be, publicly) of the risks of flooding a city with robotaxis that will freeze up and block roads during emergencies.

I know the cars have #sensors to detect "minor" #collisions; people have said just pushing down on the bumper will freeze them up for a period.
I haven't found an answer on the net for: what do they do when the earth shakes? Detect it as a collision and turn into a #brick? I'm wondering if having 10-20-50x as many of these things on the streets means every street turns into instant #gridlock when the next #earthquake comes along.
