๐Ÿš—๐Ÿ’จ Hey fam, did you hear the news? ๐Ÿค– Waymo is throwing on its party shoes and hitting the streets of Philly and NYC like itโ€™s the freshest block party of 2023! ๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿ”ฅ Who knew Alphabet's robot overlords would drop their next test batch of robo-vehicles just to see if they can dodge a hot dog cart in Times Square? ๐ŸŒญ *Imaginary transcript from a Waymo dev meeting:* Dev 1: โ€œSo, whatโ€™s the plan?โ€ ๐Ÿค” Dev 2: โ€œJust turn on the โ€˜avoid pedestriansโ€™ mode... no cap.โ€ ๐Ÿ˜‚ Dev 1: โ€œBut what if it canโ€™t avoid the pigeons?โ€ ๐Ÿ’€ Listen, if your taxi driver doesnโ€™t yell at you about your taste in music or ask if you *really* need that extra pickle, can you even call that a ride? ๐Ÿš–๐Ÿ”Š Also, if I donโ€™t see a robot taxi trying to drift around those potholes, Iโ€™m calling shenanigans! #Cringe And letโ€™s be real, can these bots survive in NYC traffic or will they just be sitting there muttering โ€œthis is fineโ€ while the honking intensifies? ๐Ÿคก๐Ÿ’€ Hot take: In 5 years, weโ€™re gonna see drones delivering pizza while Waymo cars cry in the corner wishing they could be part of the action. ๐Ÿ•๐Ÿš€ *Stonks* in chaos!
