Apple Intelligence is for the Stupid Ones
Apple Intelligence commercials make it clear that Apple’s latest software is for idiots — and using some of the new tools feels pretty stupid, too.

Several of my boomer friends say they will never own or even ride in an autonomous vehicle. I think the biggest optical these vehicles have is public perception. It may not be until a generation grows up that does not know any different before they are widely excepted. This was the case with computers and now we have generations that do not know life without them.

Boomers have the money to buy them. Just so you know

I’m a Boomer. There have been amazing improvements and boomers need to back off and stop complaining and get with the times.

Since it’s in Vegas, I bet a lot of drunks will puke in it.

is it really full autonomous or RC? that’s the key question

how are they with traffic laws? like, signs that say “no right turn on red” or who has the right-of-way?

Salaam!! The prophet (peace be upon him) talked about people riding in a box. Scary when you think about how accurate the times to come will be.

I’m a boomer and not in tech. I use both taxis, uber and Lyft. While I’m in the city of Seattle, mass transit can be sketchy during the times I need it. I’d easily try a Zoox. Futuristic, electric, ground up design, easy to ingress/egress, yeah, can’t wait!

The thing about these driverless vehicles is that they can easily be trolled by tweakers and whatnot

why are companies in the US allowed to “self” certify? Sounds like a bad idea and potential accidents waiting to happen.

One thing I am wondering with the safety curtains: What if the vehicle ends up in a water, say too deep, and the curtain airbags choke the passenger(s)

This is quite great, however I hope the company makes it completely “idiot-proof”, as I suspect there will be people who try to do stupid and reckless things with it just for online attention and views.

Black stockings, white shoes shouldn’t be allowed in the church or the zoox for that matter.

We need new Road Laws that can accommodate Robotaxi current laws for the average predestination or the average rider are not balanced.

I think they need to find a smallish town and have nothing but robo taxis, it would be interesting to see if all vehicles on the road are robo taxi’s if there is any accident. Seems to me that its people causing the issue.

Is it safe? What ONLY matters is if it’s safer than human drivers.

Her fellow female muslims in muslim controlled countries will love this service since they are not allowed to drive in those countries by muslim law! Way to rep cnet! Israel tho they let females and gays have freedom and drive so they may not be as excited haha

I’m one of those people that I’m usually down for any type of new tech, but I have to say self driving cars scare me a bit. Not so much at lower speeds as I think I’m ok with using them in the city and surface streets at speeds 50mph and under. It’s highway speeds that would scare me and I’m not in control. Also being in one of these in a hilly or mountainous area with cliffs! Nope!

It looks pretty nice. Purpose built automated vehicles seem to be the direction ride services will go eventually. Not having a specific front or back is really smart!

I would gladly jump in and get a monthly subscription. Unlimited rides for $200 or $300 dollars a month is reasonable. I can always rent a car should I wish to drive again.

took several waymo rides when I was out in SF this past summer – the first ride was a little “weird” – but it felt so safe, much safer than many rideshare drivers – loved it and now hope they come to the east coast at some point. We saw them testing the Zoox platform on a SUV at Coit Tower. The Zoox design seems perfect. Might have to take a trip out to Vegas once it opens to the public.
