Waymo stuck through three red lights, author jokes about hopping out to direct traffic

User generativist live-tweeted a Waymo's awkward moment: the robotaxi sat through three red lights, too polite to nudge into traffic and unable to complete a left turn.
He joked about hopping out to direct traffic "like a good samaritan helping a duck with her ducklings cross the road," and quipped that "we gotta arm these things — nothing serious, just a light battering ram." Others in the thread noted no one lets a Waymo merge either.
