Chris Daley Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 (edited) Do you prefer to bathed in perfectly cool aircon with a smooth drive, no accidents, the fastest route and no getting lost or the obnoxious no English Thai guy swearing at you and asking you the way?

Popular Post JayClay Posted November 1, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 1, 2023 Let's see A driverless taxi can't be drunk A driverless taxi can't be distracted due sleepdeprivation, trying to earn extra money when they are clearly in no state to be driving A driverless taxi can't be distracted due to having a bad day, having split up with his/her bf/gf/gik, had an argument with a friend, or dealing with some other financial and emotional issue. A driverless taxi can't overcharge, either deliberately or accidentally. A driverless taxi can't get either offended, or unwelcomly interested, when my girlfriend whips her knickers off. Software can have bugs. But bugs can be fixed. Human qualities are more difficult to alter. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LukKrueng Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 I'm pretty sure I read somewhere in the last couple of days that they have stopped the service in California due to an accident where a pedestrian was knocked by another car and fell under a driverless taxi and got stuck under the car for a long time.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

proton Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 Many advantages, would not refuse to use meter or go long way round, would not stink of nam prik and garlic or be under the influence.
