    So they are going to change public transportation infrastructure to support them right? They will get dedicated bus lanes and protected stops right? It’s definitely going to be affordable right? This is going to help with lessening car dependency RIGHT? 😮‍💨

    I don’t trust them to do the right thing at all.

      We’ve had them here in Phoenix since before the pandemic. They operate just like Uber, except they’re cheaper and there’s no driver. You can sit in any seat besides the driver seat, and store items in the trunk of the vehicle. You can pair your phone with the car and play your own music on the speakers. Pretty good experience all things considered. The cars are pretty good at finding a place to stop and load/unload passengers, but sometimes they will drive right past you when finding a place to park and you have to walk 10-15 feet to the car.

    The end of the article when it talks about the fire trucks that the car failed to yield to; the article claimed it was because they were yellow instead of red. What about cop cars that are white, black, blue? How about ambulances? This seems super shady behavior to me.

    Well self driving cars are best but not for now because the algorithm to detect object & pedestrian still needs tuning. I remembered Tesla still had same issue that made them crashed
    In Asia self driving cars doesn’t work because we drive like maniac & can cause huge traffic crash compared to Europe or USA.
