While I would hope the waymo could do a better job not hitting animals, I do find it a bit obnoxious that these knee-height delivery carts are running around. That’s a nuisance and a mild danger to pedestrians and cyclists. The article also only mention waymo didn’t identify this bot as a human, so it wasn’t as cautious a sit could be. Can it identify an animal as an additional class?
Waymo said they detected it as an inanimate object, as opposed to an animate object like an animal. It’s only the article author that made a reference to humans.
