the self driving cars getting destroyed in particular is funny, you can feel a thousand executives in every area of automation suddenly looking up in realization, "oh gee, yeah, if nobody's attending the thing then we can end up pretty fucked, huh..."

I literally just signed up for waymo when I got to LA.

Terrible timing. Least I got to ride a couple before they burned them all

How was it?

I actually preferred it over like an Uber. You don't have to do deal with the weird drivers. 

The car even talks to you and plays calming music like you're getting a massage while it drives. 

It's more expensive than Uber Lyft but more fun.

I guess being a robot car it doesn't hesitate when it drives. It doesn't think before it does something so it feels a lot more aggressive when it drives. But why wouldn't it? It doesn't need time to think whether it should pull in or out of traffic. It just does it. 

I watched James take one and got me interested




My quick trip info.
Also it uses Bluetooth so you use your phone to unlock the door when it gets to you. This was my first Self-Driving car experience. So I don't really have much to compare it to.
