Said something about how an ambulance was blocked for quite a while waitng for one of these stupid things to move.
Um, push it out of the way. Not like an ambulance is small. Get them all push bars and move those fucking pieces of shit with a good shove. Tell the people in the Waymo to GTFO and then push the fucking thing over.
Then send Waymo a bill for any damages to the ambulance, cop car, fire truck, etc.
Why is this so hard? I'm not normally a fan of brute force and ignorance, but it does have it's uses. Waymo isn't doing anything because there are no consequences. They don't come to meetings, they don't fix the problem and they issue bullshit public statements that mean nothing. Fine, you want to choose the "do nothing" option, we'll choose the "shove your stupid piece of shit high-school science project into a ditch" option.
I think you may be overestimating the power of an E-450.
So little torque from such a big engine. My 3 liter has more. They need turbodiesels.
Maybe that low torque is desirable for patient stability?
