These cars are mobile hi-def surveillance cameras. Incidentally they indefinitely track all the riders, their destinations and origins, and report it back to big data. Lime scooters are no better.
Every app based transportation service is tracking the shit out of you, but it's irrelevant because your phone is already doing it
Yay! Cheering you on from Canada. Give em hell!
1992 is calling.... Fuck the Police
Mr TACO has shown everyone that you can do as you like, the president will pardon you
According to a few posts on Bluesky this is being caused by the smoke canisters their firing into the crowd.
I'm rooting for the protesters but that's a pretty implausible excuse. Given that the police are publishing videos from Waymo, I'm not surprised they're being set on fire. Fuck the police but also fuck everyone who is complicit
lol no. It’s the dudes lighting the seats on fire that caused the fire.
What? I was watching the protests live and the Waymo vehicles catching fire wasn’t caused by smoke canisters, lol.
