WOULD YOU USE A DRIVERLESS TAXI SERVICE?

I was super impressed w Waymo and most shocked by how quickly the ride became so normal I forgot i was in a robot.

Now I’ll take a Waymo any day before I take Uber. Far safer driving experience

I like bullshitting with the drivers. Where you from? How's it going? etc. A little talking smack about baseball or whatever, the interaction in general. There is no technology that can replace that. I got a great ox tail soup recipe from a Jamaican, female, Uber driver in Dallas a few weeks ago. This is what Im looking for in my ride for hire. People with personality, and recipes.

I can’t even recall the last time I had an Uber driver that actually lived in SF. They don’t know shit about the city except how to get lost and drive like aholes.

Whats the thrill of fucking a stripper in the back seat if theres not a cabbie making conversation with us the whole time?

The risk of an AI caused car crash? I suppose thats sort of a thrill./
