Driving safely for the road conditions is not just the law, it is the right thing to do

Glad you stopped in time! Make sure you are going a safe speed for the road conditions so you have time to stop in time when this happens again in the future.

Robotaxis work best in the same places taxis work best, places with more demand than parking spots and insufficient transit service
This is now a function of density but one of infrastructure choices

It is your responsibility as a driver to stop for kids crossing the road no matter how they decide to cross, when in doubt just go slow enough to stop if you need to
It is not a kids responsibility to behave so predictably that you can speed. Be the adult in the room and let the kids be kids.

Waymo's road to success is to decimate transit in a city with limited parking like Chicago, DC, SF, LA, San Diego, or NYC
DC, LA, and NYC have sufficient transit funding to hold their own
Chicago is a union town
SF or SD have transit funding shortfalls and are anti-union, so are Waymo's best bets

Sweet spot for robotaxis are ample roads, limited parking, and infrequent transit
Waymo will not entice drivers in places with excess parking, which is all suburbs and most cities
Waymo will not entice transit riders in places with robust transit which is very few cities, maybe only NYC in the US

You need congestion pricing more for robotaxis than you do for human drivers, pricing parking is more important for human drivers
There is no need to treat robotaxis the same as human drivers, they are different things and require different regulations and taxes.

Density helps reduce cost of providing transit, but is not necessary for viable transit
Low density Switzerland has high transit mode share because they have a funding model that sufficiently funds transit capital and operations

A world where robotaxis get any more popular than they are is a world where every city looks like Dallas
A cap or tax on robotaxis so they stay under a 1% mode share would be an effective method to save cities
