In the heart of San Francisco, this afternoon a viral video captured a perfect snapshot of the challenges facing autonomous vehicles. Two rival robotaxis locked in a motionless standoff. Amazon’s Zoox (a distinctive light-blue, purpose-built bidirectional pod) and Google’s Waymo (a white Jaguar I-Pace-based SUV with rooftop sensors) sit facing off in a busy intersection, seemingly unable to decide who yields or how to proceed.
X user, named Evan, just shared it on X, about an hour ago from San Francisco.
