Would you ride in this driverless taxi?

The Robotaxis had to brake repeatedly as jaywalkers and tourists came very close to the vehicles to take photos.

Would I ride in a driverless taxi? Not a snowballs chance in hell.

No. When an accident is going to happen, who's life is the computer program going to save.

[socialmoravec]

No, because lidar tech is not as safe as what Tesla will unveil later this year.

I can't wait for them to get into a cyber Riot with a Pizza Hut delivery van, oh the humanity

[williamrmitchell]

Not a chance! AI has not evolved enough to trust it with anyones life!

I don't know how safe driverless cars could be considering they run on 4 tires that fill with air or nitrogen, right. Essentially, what is the stop prevention in the case of a blown tire? What do normal drivers do in the case of a blown tire?

We have a driverless Canadian government, so what's the difference? The car will probably do much better.

[dosdont]

I have no doubt that driverless cars will one day be a thing, *a safer option, * but I doubt that will be in my lifetime. I'll pass for this lifetime. What we're seeing from companies like Tesla is not the future. The current tech is not there yet.

Gee whiz, I wonder where they got that idea?

[Whitepilledprincess]

I absolutely would ride in it, even if only once just to check it out!
