Ok.... Does anybody here have the balls to get into a robo taxi?

[justoffal]

I just can't see myself doing this. Placing all of my trust in a machine that could make a wrong decision I have no power over.

I mean what happens when one of these things drives off a bridge? Fails to stop at an intersection? For some reason or another drives straight into a lake?

No way man!

A friend of mine did it and he said while a bit disconcerting at first, he thought it was great.

Get on your phone and send for the cab. It shows up and your name is on it in lights. You get a code to get in when it gets there.

It took him where he wanted to go and let him off and off it went. No fuss.

 

[Thunk]

Nope. Not even if I was shit faced drunk!

Probably an Age thing .
Think of middle aged and very old people here put back just in the Middle Ages and turning on heaters , lights , appliances etc .
They would worship them as Gods.

As a thought exercise , imagine their reactions if you threw a live person on to a live rail .
Same .
New God .

Those things might be programmed at some point in the future for assassinations or by any democrat to kill off a suspected maga supporter. The new murder by swatting. autoroboting

My balls are shrinking just thinking about it.

It's funny- all your reasoning is why James is petrified of flying. I'm not afraid to fly atall, but I ain't getting into some damn robo taxi of death.

Absolutely not.

At a recent trip to San Francisco, they were all over the city.
At one busy intersection near China Town, the one in the right turn lane didn't know what to do and stood still even though it had the green and a clear right-of-way. The one in the next lane didn't know what to do either and stood still. The people driving behind them were pissed. One of the passengers of the robo-car eventually got out of it and was like "screw this."

Recently I was behind one of them in my hometown. At a light, it signaled left, then went a little to the right because the street veered off slightly to the right, then the vehicle did a sudden jerky 90 degree left turn at a fairly elevated speed. Luckily, I kept my distance, so the darned thing didn't smack my car in the side as I started to make my left turn.

Yikes!

I might have shot at it.

What's a 15 minute city?

All you ever need or desire.....will be within 15 minutes of you.

 

[Unkotare]

Wow, you guys are timid!

 

[Hellokitty]

I don't like being a passenger with a human drive, so there's no way I'd ride in a robo controlled vehicle.
