Not dumping on this video specifically, rather all of the media and social media reporting. In the first 6 seconds of the video, he says the car pulled itself over, and nobody told it to do that. At 0:58 it says the company pulled the car over, at at 1:49 it says the company detected the gun. So the video obviously contradicts itself. But it's just not here. If you search for "waymo gun" you find a major split in both regular and social media articles and posts that say the car did this all by itself, or alternatively, that waymo employees made the decision, told the car to stop, and called the police. It reinforces my belief that we can't trust anything we read. I understand this happening on social media, but "professional" outlets? The majority of TV stations and newspapers say waymo employees made the decisions and took the action, but there are exceptions. Can't believe any of them.

My guess on the process ..
Car AI detects image of gun,
Alert goes to remote monitoring center, and a Human makes the final call
I would think that if I was to take a rideshare to someplace and had to leave my gun at home since they don't allow them, then the rideshare company should be responsible for my safety since they said I could not have said firearm, thereby taking the responsibility for my safety from me. So if I was say robbed or shot after leaving the rideshare, I would sue the rideshare for effectively disarming me and preventing me from defending myself.
Of course, their lawyers would say you had the right to not choose their company...ironically kind of like"no one held a gun to your head"......
I think the "bad guy" was also Otis Campbell the town drunk on "The Andy Griffith Show".
I had one of those Mattel .38 revolvers...you pressed a stick-on cap on the primer end of the "cartridge" and pushed a spring-loaded plastic bullet into the other end of the cartridge. When the hammer hit the cap the cap it would explode and the plastic "bullet" would be launched, albeit somewhat weak. I don't think you could put an eye out with it if you tried.
Seems to me that the "no weapons" policy is selectively enforced. I bet there are a lot of knives carried in the cars that waymo never takes any action over. If there's enough legal action, they might have to require riding naked.
They will have TSA type body scans in the future before you enter...our future sucks...
I do not understand the no weapons policy for a driverless car. Who are you going to jack? There is no one driving.
