    I’d say the vehicle not continuing to drive with a traffic cone on its hood is the exact way it should operate.

    But putting a cone on its hood should be a crime. Vandalism or obstruction of some flavor.

      @rgb3x3 @raccoona_nongrata “Vandalism, n, action involving deliberate destruction of or damage to public or private property.”

      Obstruction as a crime means “an act that involves unduly influencing, impeding, or otherwise interfering with the justice system”.

      What a wild take. “Ah yes, we should be protecting capital at all costs.”

      A traffic cone is not damaging the property, or hurting anyone. It just damages their bottom line a little bit.

      It’s not even like the car is personal property, someone’s only mode of transportation. And if it were, it wouldn’t matter, because a human can just remove a cone.

      I find it hilarious and unhinged that people will genuinely suggest that something as minor as placing a traffic cone on the hood of a robotaxi should be criminalized.
