Imagine trusting a self-driving car for a quick ride, only to have it steer itself straight onto active train tracks—no steering wheel, no brakes, just you and a door handle. That’s exactly what happened in Phoenix, where a Waymo robotaxi calmly rolled along the light rail corridor as a train approached. The passenger had seconds to bail out, highlighting the real-world risks of handing over control to code. Would you feel safe in a car that can’t tell a street from train tracks? Where should we draw the line between convenience and safety with autonomous vehicles? #Transportation #Phoenix #Waymo
