But it won’t include linux drivers
*rimshot*
Was in San Francisco last Sunday. Ridiculous number of robotaxis everywhere, most of them empty. Mostly Waymos, but also a few Zoox ones and 3-4 others with a training driver.
I kept trying to get away from them, but there were groups of 2-3 driving around, boxing me in. Mostly clustered around popular tourist spots.
On top of that, San Francisco has now started implementing traffic cameras that will snap your license and automatically send you a speeding ticket if you’re 5 miles over the speed limit. I get that it’s a congestion management thing, but add that to all the robotaxis and I’m not sure many people will be driving in San Francisco.
Come to think of it, that’s actually a good thing. Carry on.
As long as there’s an investment in alternatives (other than cars), yeah
I won’t be happy until a third of the traffic on the road is driverless zombies going to pick people up who are too lazy to drive themselves or ride a bike. And another third should be cars that are just picking up a box or two for delivery. The remaining third should be exclusively SUVs and pickups too tall to see any passengers, lest they slow down for measly walkers.
One can dream…
As a third generation professional taxi driver; bull-fucking-shit.
I mean, it’s coming at some point, but their plan here is like the an ad executives version of reality. It’s not gonna match anytime soon.
Don’t know, never taken an regular über either.
