Waymo's robotaxis apparently missed the memo that cars and floods don't mix, repeatedly driving into flooded roads in Atlanta and San Antonio like metal lemmings. The company had to suspend service in both cities while it teaches its AI the revolutionary concept that water is wet and deep puddles are bad. Billions in autonomous driving tech, and it still can't match the survival instincts of a average human driver.
