Those waypoints have legal implications.

It’s often illegal to make a U-Turn to avoid a police checkpoint for example. There’s no way someone can unstick a confused car without being able to make legally relevant choices.

In California (and I think most places) it's not illegal to make a (legal) U-turn to avoid a police checkpoint or otherwise avoid a checkpoint.

Waymo is operating in many locations outside of California such as Florida and Texas, and it intends to expand to many more states.

It is also legal to u-turn before a police checkpoint in Florida and Texas. In fact I think it's true to say that you can do this in any state.

If you see a checkpoint at sufficient distance to make a legal u turn before interacting with the police yes.

If a police officer is pointing at your car because they are going to search you no.

So?

You made a series of factually incorrect statements which I have debunked based on trivially determined facts.

So I realized you misunderstood what I said.

For example, I said they operate in Texas as you called out California as your example. Texas doesn’t allow sobriety checkpoints but it’s an entirely new states worth of legal issues here.

I would assume that unsticking it requires forcing it to do maneuvers that it would otherwise refuse to do (or it would just unstick itself), so you'd need some knowledge of laws to do that

If someone from the Phillipines clicks waypoints for a drone in Ukraine, is it a warcrime?
