    As expected, Waymo deflects responsibility for the crash, as if no human driver has ever encountered a car being towed.

    The company says one of its vehicles encountered a tow truck improperly pulling a pickup, which was facing rearward and askew across a center turn lane and regular traffic lane.

      A situation a human would have easily navigated.

      This whole alpha testing driverless vehicles on the public road is bullshit.
