Very safe. They obey most traffic rules and don’t do stupid things. I have friends who commute in bike and say they feel safer with Waymo’s on the street. As a pedestrian, I appreciate them since I don’t worry it might run me over when I’m crossing the street.


Once every vehicle is a Waymo/autonomous, can we all jay-walk with impunity?


You won't get hit, yes.

But if this starts happening too much, I wonder if in the future, vehicles will start reporting jaywalking to police automatically, complete with video evidence and automated face id?


Jaywalking isn't a crime in California.
