Someone posted in r/waymo a video of someone covering all the cameras with tape, which apparently immobilizes the self driving car. I interpreted that as non dangerous to actual people since it keep the car from moving at all.
Anyway, everyone in the comments was a circle jerk saying Waymo should come after the person legally. I suggested that big tech like Google and Uber may do more unethical things than this person putting some tape on a self driving car. Never did I once threaten violence lol.
Libs/capitalists regularly conflate violence with expropriation. For example protests are often called violent based on “property damage” even if no people are injured. Similarly from this perspective it’s violence to put tape on car, etc. and it’s threatening violence to promote this online. I’m not saying this is a good ideology but it’s popular on reddit.
That makes sense. But in this specific case the tape can easily be removed. The only damage is to Waymo’s revenue on that specific car.
