Whats the point? poor taxi drivers must be fuming at this tbh.

As long as you've got perfectly willing humans to do the job, I don't see the point in splashing out money on fancy driverless vehicles that, in my opinion are risky as hell, for the sake of being 'modern'. It's a silly invention.

I would never get in one, hate using cruise control on some cars.

I could do with automated taxis when I prebook a taxi for 3am the previous day and yet they turn up late every single time often leaving me outdoors for up to an hour on a winters night

Its the beginning of automation for a whole raft of jobs that humans currently do. Cars are just the start.

:think: Cars are not "the start" at all LT, the vast majority of human labour (farming, factory work etc.) have been automated for decades. If anything, we're well past the midway point.
