Would you happily be a passenger in a driverless car/taxi?

like someone else said if it ran on rails. i’d think of it as a slow rollercoaster lol

Nah, I don't want to be in some racist ass car that can't detect nonwhite pedestrians

Not yet - I'll let that technology be used on other humans for a few years before I'll build the trust.

I would actually prefer it over having a driver, who want's to do smalltalk with me

No I will never fully trust them, not as long as mendacious oligarchs are overseeing their production... at least a human driver has an interest in protecting themselves behind the wheel, I have 0% trust that Toyota or whoever codes the AI is going to have a similar interest, much more likely the coding will be to protect property and limit liability
