Good start.
Just because we can do something doesn't meant its a good idea.
We have cars, busses , cabs, uber and bicycles. There is a human being operating every one of them.
Imagine that. A robot ai etc not being as observant and lively As a human being.
The car is cute, so you feel bad taking a baseball bat to it. But eventually, someone will.
The stupidest invention ever!!
People aren’t ready for this crap right now…
When you pay for driverless cars ride do you still get asked how much of tip you want to leave.
🤡clown world
Self driving money for nothing greedy big business. Humans are still the best bet those rolling disasters shouldn't be on the road till their 100 percent
Wouldn’t it make more sense to put these in smaller areas and towns as a starting point. There’s less traffic to worry about and they’ll actually get more use because nothing is in walking distance in those areas usually. Let them prove they can handle smaller towns before moving them into a big city like this.
Yes green light doesnt mean u can crash into a fire truck

Saying the driverless car had a green light is so dumb. As if the car had a right of way to the fire truck with its lights on. Seems like their technology is still in the simulation phase.
Shame if they ran over Democrats
How is this legal? These cars should have never been turned loose in a city. Autonomous cars should have got their start on a dedicated lane, like an express lane before being turned loose in a major city.
Ignorant idea from ignorant state
What public good is served by having these driverless cabs in the streets?
I thought that democrats were supposed to support the gig workers, not
put them on the unemployment lines!
I am a self-driving taxi. Do not be afraid. Nothing can go wrong go wrong go wrong go wrong …
It was the DMV that made this happen.
If our young men can do it, don't know why we are objecting to a robotaxi intersection takeover. Just seems they weren't programmed for Drifting. Come on Johnny Taxi, smoke em.
It's wild how these driverless taxis exist. When I heard about these, I thought it was joke, because it sounded so futuristic. And lookimg at this video, it looks like they need more tinkering with!
All those billions invested in R&D. Keep throwing money away. Driving will be one of the last tasks humans could automate. We would have automated brain surgery before we would have automated driving.

Green light doesn’t mean you can proceed especially when there’s a emergency vehicle is coming
Get rid of those pieces of junk. There's nothing but trouble had enough problems with them down here in Mountain View. During the time when they were testing remote vehicles. And at least they had somebody behind the wheel.
These companies are failing & lying to the public! Technology be damned!
