WE’RE OPEN Major update to driverless taxi service in U.S. city that will change how you hail a cab

[DUMBGRUNT]

Almost all nine of Cruise’s 2022 self-driving accidents have led to the collision’s human driver fleeing the area, San Francisco Examiner reports.

Perhaps an ejection seat to prevent bums from moving in for the night?

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Would Zyklon B in the cabin be going too far?

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Perhaps they should offer automated cleaning of bodily fluids off the back seat.

[Tell It Right]

It’s not a real cab unless the computer driver calls me “Mack” while telling me about his financial struggles with his wife and kids. LOL

[Codeflier]

10PM - 5AM - that will be a death trap during those hours for violent criminals.

The day they try this crap in NYC or Chicago every one of the new vehicles will end up in the river.

[Skywise]

Beat me to it.

“Heckuva day!”

[heartwood]

Will they drive by some prospective passengers? Refuse to go the wrong side of town?

No cash on board.

[Da Coyote]

Nothing can go wrong.
Can go wrong.
Can go wrong.
And it will most definitely not go wrong after it drives you to the worst part of town.

[Boogieman]

Just another reason to avoid ever setting foot in San Francisco.

[Organic Panic]

Who will the ferals rob and assault if there are no drivers???

[nascarnation]

The passengers, of course, you silly boy!

[Da Coyote]

Darn, can’t remember what movie that came from.

[Gnome1949]

No matter where you WANT to go, a driverless taxi will take you where the borg chooses to take you.

Any passenger foolish enough to use this service must carry a taser to electrically and electronically disable the vehicle if needed. Also, it will be a good idea to carry a glass breaker device just in case.

A driverless taxi that cannot be disabled could drive you a hundred miles in circles to get to the airport. The charge for such a fraudulently long trip would be automatically charged to your credit card.

Will the doors have the inside door handles removed and automatic door locks the passenger cannot unlock?

[military cop]

Absolutely knew that was coming!

[digger48]

Total Recall

[cableguymn]

how long before people do their business in one? I mean they already crap on the sidewalks.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Sounds like it would be safer and cheaper to buy your own car.

[nascarnation]

The long term goal is to get peons out of personal transportation and move them to mass transit, etc.
