A man who makes electric cars, named Elon Musk, feels bad for the computers that drive some cars without people inside. He saw a video of someone hurting one of these computer-driven cars, called Waymo, in San Francisco. This city has been mean to these cars before. Even though they have been hurt, Waymo wants to bring more of their car-computers there soon. Elon Musk's company, Tesla, also wants to make computer-driven taxis, and he will show people his idea in August. Read from source...
1. The title of the article is misleading and sensationalized. It implies that Elon Musk feels sorry for Waymo or other autonomous vehicles, but in reality, he was expressing sympathy for the bots (the self-driving algorithms) that have to deal with such vandalism.
2. The article mentions two incidents of vandalism against Waymo robotaxis, while ignoring other instances or competitors' experiences with similar issues. For example, Tesla has also faced several cases of keyless thefts and tampering with its vehicles, which can be considered a form of vandalism as well.
3. The article does not provide any context or analysis for why San Francisco is such a hostile environment for autonomous vehicles. It seems to suggest that it is unique to Waymo or Tesla, but there may be underlying social, economic, or political factors that contribute to this phenomenon.
4. The article ends abruptly with a mention of Musk's robotaxi plans, without concluding or connecting it to the main topic. It leaves the reader wondering what the point of the article was and how it relates to Waymo's situation.
