Waymo cars ignored stopped school buses in Atlanta. What happens now?
- A high school classmate of mine (many many years ago) was unexpectedly and brazenly pulled out of a school-wide assembly by local police one morning.
It was the talk of the school. Rumors spread like wildfire. Consensus was that whatever she did, it must have been terrible.
She had driven past a stopped school bus.
If this reaction is acceptable when a person does it, a $1 fine for a company is a slap in the face to law-abiding citizens.

- Fines start at a dollar and double for each repeat occurrence.
If it gets to the point where the fine is prohibitively expensive, then the system should in fact be prohibited.
- Would AI be better at stopping for children jumping out from a stopped school bus so it’s not as necessary to stop with human drivers?
That being said, just ticket the company and make them pay. Isn’t this how it works with all moving violations? Does Waymo get pulled over for speeding?
