"This weekend, a video emerged on social media showing a Waymo self-driving car driving around a golf course. Unlike other Waymos, this particular vehicle was operating on the grass itself, just a few meters away from people. Spectators could be heard laughing in the video as the Waymo slowly drove over the golf course. Amidst speculations online, Waymo has stated that the vehicle in the viral video was actually operated by a human driver."
"The video caught a lot of attention among Tesla enthusiasts, with many stating that such a video involving a Robotaxi could have easily crucified the electric vehicle maker in the media. It is no secret that Tesla receives overwhelmingly negative media coverage, so even a small scratch on a Robotaxi or other minor incidents on the road tend to result in dramatic headlines."
A video circulated on social media showing a Waymo vehicle driving across a golf course, operating on the grass just a few meters from people. Spectators were audible and seen laughing as the vehicle slowly drove over the course. The vehicle was under human control while preparing for an event at the Penmar Golf Course and was not operating in autonomous mode. The clip drew attention from Tesla enthusiasts who noted that a similar incident involving a Robotaxi running FSD would likely provoke intense media backlash. Tesla receives predominantly negative media coverage, and small incidents involving its vehicles often generate dramatic headlines and calls for restrictions.
