  This game is so goofy sometimes :)

  I imagine a similar exploit will work on Android devices, as well. Wouldn't have considered it, but it may be a good idea to figure out how to disable the content from appearing in the Android notifs, too.

  This used to be my job. They're not controlling the cars. They're basically completing real-time CAPTCHAs, telling the car whether the cameras see a stop sign, a bicycle, temporary barriers, etc. If the car can't identify an object that could possibly cross its path, it pulls over and stops until an operator can do a sanity-check on whatever the car's confused by. They only need to be able to identify objects on the road, not know the rules of the road.

  No. They just end the ride and send somebody from the local depot to drive the car back to the garage.

  Even with the recent struck child, Waymos are still light years ahead of human drivers in terms of safety. Honestly, the faster we can replace human drivers, the better. Almost all traffic collisions are caused by human error, remove that and the roads will be the safest they've been since horse-drawn carriages first entered the scene.

  Keyword searches with an understanding of search syntax was always king. Isn't that only because of the limitations of the available technology only being able to handle simple strings, though? Conversational computing has been a pipe dream since early sci-fi, where characters would talk to their computers as if they were human; George Jetson never spoke to Rosie in keyword queries. I feel like keyword search syntax being "king" is more of a symptom, than an intentional choice...
