    I think it’ll work well within university campus areas, maybe some housing areas/communities. But with other people on the road, it’s still a bit dangerous.

      What’s your logic? Are there reports of accidents from this company?

      Mercedes has had cars for a while now that self drive (real self driving) on roads with other cars. If the car crashes while self driving Mercedes is responsible.

      Honda does the same.

      Waymo has cars working as taxis in several cities no driver at all in the car. These have been around for YEARS.

      Now there’s this.

      Are you familiar with reports about their vehicles, or are you just afraid that there’s no driver?

      @@zero11010 it’s not about the autonomous vehicle, as it’s programed to go through a certain pathway, but it’s the other drivers on the road, the humans, that do stupid stuff.

      @@thismanagain sounds like you should look into how many completely different driverless systems are already on roads around the world.

      Real roads with other cars and motorcycles and pedestrians. It’s already happening.

      Do you know about the different levels of self driving? Europe and the US have different definitions for their levels. But, are rating the same process.

      Tesla has been promising self driving for almost a decade at this point. They only have level 2 self driving in the US. So, the driver is still responsible for what happens, and the car completely fails and gives up in a lot of situations, or does something that would seriously injure people and requires a human driver to intervene.

      MANY other companies are at level 3. This means no human is needed. The vehicle you see here would likely be level 4.

      This stuff is already happening.

      @@zero11010 yes but with Tesla or other Level 2 autonomous driving you are still in control if an idiot makes a wrong move, but in a vehicle like this it’s almost impossible to do anything if something happens.

      @@thismanagain so, it’s like being the passenger in a car.

      Your fear is normal. That’s fine. Now, inform yourself on the topic.

      How many crashes does a normal human get into per million miles driven? That’s a good predictor for what is acceptable, right? You want to be in control. This is how often “you” crash.

      Cool.

      Now, how many crashes do these vehicles get into per million miles driven?

      The info is known. Don’t worry about what reality MAY be when that reality is known.

    How many companies have beaten Tesla to self driving cars?
    Mercedes, Honda, GM, Alphabet (Waymo), and now Amazon (Zoox).

    Are there more? I’d bet there are more.

    See this Elon? This is how it’s done. You proved you were not serious about true self driving when you moved to a vision only system.

    So, was the idea of a proper Vegas mass transit rail system ever on the table? Instead, Nevada allows more expensive low occupancy vehicles to pile up the infamously bloated Las Vegas Strip.😕

    The thing some people will love about self driving taxis is how you can target them for remote takeovers and then get them to take the passenger right where you want them…

    (I’m sure this will never happen and they will all have the same data security that our personal information has had historically…)

    That looks great, much much better than the crap robotaxi from horrible company Tesla.
