I’d love to see a market-based solution for this - maybe a Watchdogs style HUD in your car that could label dangerous drivers…

That is a great point, and one that people in SF have been asking for years…
Ultimately, if people are willing to pay for a taxi, the city needs to regulate their operation to avoid gridlock or similar harms.

That’s the point - Waymo are designing the self driving taxi for the high-value trips in cities with bounded driving conditions.
It’s still very difficult, and they have a lot of remote operators ready to intervene, but at least the problem is bounded.

Notice how his lawyer (handler) has to jump in to protect him, because Biden is led around by Hur into admitting he held onto the classified document.

The administration had a chance to potentially prevent the disaster if they hadn’t forced the rail worker’s strike to end -
Even if no one died, it’s stupid and evil that freight trains run with skeleton crews and minimal inspections.
