Those will never last if they drive in the hood.

No, in general I am a sceptic of all information, but in this case I believe a computer can do a better job. Consider a drunk or drugged driver for example.

Why? Insanely stupid idea.

“Unlike San Francisco, where robotaxis have no one inside, the Scottish buses will have a ‘safety driver’ ready to grab the controls in an emergency. There will also be a ‘captain’ on board to handle tickets and passenger queries.“

Sounds like a perpetual economic black hole.

In Britain it will become illegal to insult an AI bot — or even to talk back to it — punishable by imprisonment or death. Homophobic slurs will bring the harshest sentences “ChatGPT, you faggot!”

Cars that drive on auto pilot are stupid. There are way too many variables going on all the time on the roads.
