As more autonomous vehicles join Bay Area roadways, we ask readers to send us their experiences
Let me cite two experiences with Waymo objects in Mountain View:
1. Getting off southbound Shoreline east to Central Expressway north, midday, light traffic. On the blind downhill exit, I am shocked to suddenly see a row of stopped cars on the long “return” ramp, requiring emergency braking. A Waymo at the front won’t accelerate/merge with light expressway traffic, as a human driver would.
2. On Castro, a major street, a Waymo is drooling below 20, in a 25 mph area, acquiring a “tail.” It stops prematurely at a green light about to turn red, trapping six of us. Then, no signal, it turns right, which it could have done on green.at the Highway 85 southbound ramp from 101 is just one horrifying example.
