WAY-to-MO

Yesterday, while stopped at Rancho and Sahara, I noticed a self-driving car to my right. What’s so exciting about that you ask?

Absolutely nothing.

What was exciting was the truck behind it.

The Waymo car wanted to turn right onto Sahara but had the red light. Obviously, its programming said it wasn’t safe to turn yet. For most drivers it was obviously safe. I looked. There weren’t any cars coming. Still, the car didn’t move.

Enter the truck moron.

I’ll spare him the dignity of not describing him, but needless to say I don’t think they guy has ever read a word in his life.

If anyone has ever seen a Waymo car before but DRIVERLESS CAR and CAR MAKES SUDDEN STOPS are plastered all over the back of the car.

So, why would you honk at it?

Not just once, but multiple times.

As soon as we got the green light, the honker peeled away from the Waymo car and sped off. I couldn’t help but think that this scholar is one of those guys that weaves in and out of traffic only to meet everyone he’s passed at the same red light.

Everyone should know that the quickest distance between two points is a straight line, not a high-speed crab walk.

That’s something you learn in school.

I’m starting to think that when you get pulled over, the cop should ask for license, registration, and diploma.

Then again, driving should be fun, and we could all use a good laugh every now and then.

Thank you Waymo!
