Same with Coimbra, Portugal. Would love to see a Waymo car trying to navigate those old intricate roads.


Just checked it out on google. What a beautiful place.

My scepticism around SD cars in places like that and Bath is not even the roads themselves, but the traffic.

The are quite a lot of roads around me that are quite narrow and frequently drop to single lanes. I feel like any self-drive system will need to develop quite an advanced theory of mind to perform the weird silent negotiation that happens when I'm driving a long, with three cars behind me, and come face-to-face with a bus coming the other way, and somehow we have to either backup en-masse, or perform the squeeze dance as we edge past each other with inches to spair.


I wonder if Waymo can use street mirrors.


I hadn't even considered those. It would be interesting to see how confused Telsa FSD got when confronted by something like that.
