Very neat. I recently went to the Waymo depot in Bayshore (Toland St) and snapped a couple of pictures of the new Zeekrs for Wikipedia. [1] https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Waymo_Zeekr_Vehicle_... [2] https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Waymo_Zeekr_Vehicle_...

How did you get in?

These were parked on Hudson Ave, which is a public street, and not inside the fenced area of the depot. So I just walked up to them.

I actually quite liked it, was somehow soothing, especially the car park that was used as a temporary location during the night.

If you like that sort of thing, see "AGV Garden".[1]

(This is the port of Rotterdam, ten years ago. Sped up about 3x. Most big ports look like that now. Automated driving works really well when all those pesky humans are out of the way.)

That art fixture's placement at the Mission Waymo Depot is kinda cool. It's evocative of a future in which humanity lives a life of indolence propped up by automation.

Looks like it's GAIA by Marco Cochrane, I remember seeing it out in the desert. It looks like it might not be related to Waymo and just on the adjacent property

Thanks, I was assuming it was the same artist as the one at the Embarcadero, and that seems to be right.

Most of it is not drone, but you have to think a bit about the angle and duration to realize this. Merry Christmas

I took the time to figure out where you took the shots from. You were not kidding about risk, especially for 201 Toland, Jesus Christ.

I don't think the goal is indolence. The goal is freedom. We want a post-need society propped up by automation. That doesn't mean that we should spend our reclaimed time idling, though, but certainly we could.
