    Cab /Lyft/Uber driver’s worst nightmare!

      Doubt it, most people are not suicidal to get on a driverless car specially in sf where everyone drives like a maniac

      Cab industry was destroyed by uber/lyft service corruption of laws then spending billions to create monopolies. Now uber/lyft will be destroyed by companies capable of autonomous. The question is only regulation. Personally I think there is greater value in highway autonomous driving because it is cheaper safer and easier. The entire idea that urban mobility is a goldmine was based on monopolies and evasion of regulation. Are cities really so stupid and corrupt they will let that happen?

      Um… this reduces costs for Uber as they heavily invests in driverless technology. Not sure about LYFT but they likely do too.

    Great technology. However I assume they are using some kind of remote operator backup.

    Future Hell is apparently inevitable. And have you noticed how there is no critical news coverage of these things?

      There’s no critical thinking on display in the news in general.

    This is amazing actually. Taking the next step to full driverless in a real dense living city is a major milestone. Having a backup driver adds less safety than you think due to boredom/inattention, but this is a big commitment. Waymo is geofenced to easy parts of an easy suburb. If Cruise doesn’t have problems they might “take the lead”.

    How do the cars deal with unexpected situations: power outages, a branch obstructing a stop sign, pot holes, etc.?

    Fear is what keeps us from new technology.
