    It is absolutely common for people to do something unexpected in Las Vegas, particularly near the Strip and other pedestrian-heavy, gambling/drinking-heavy areas.

    Erratic driving is also higher than average for most western cities.

    My point though was that this is one of Waymo’s main testing areas.

    With that said, like other people have mentioned, there are a lot of potential gotchas here like Waymo running on fairly limited routes and still potentially needing a lot of human intervention.

    Also the idea that someone can shut down or take over control of my car remotely is extremely creepy and dust I piano seeming to me.
