Would you step in?

[hollydolly]

Nope not me..no thank you....

 

[outlander]

Not happening for me.

 

[CallMeKate]

Never.

 

[hollydolly]

That said, we have driverless train here... since the 80's....I've been on them.....

 

[Aunt Bea]

I would give it a try!

I would actually be more concerned about the other people on the bus and how they might react in the event of a problem.

I would prefer being by myself in a Waymo.

 

[DaveA]

Probably I won't either as, at my age I'm not planning a trip to China and in our country we'll still be bickering over who's in charge and why. Pathetic. Never expected to see (in my lifetime) this almost total breakdown of our country's governing system that's worked so well down through the ages.

Yeah my BIL said that lately, that it won't take long now before you can just order a self driving Tesla. I have no driver's license. If you have one and can always step in sure, but just step in with no driver? No thanks.

We have them also. They are called “light rails.” I have been on them at airports around the country. They take passengers from the concourse to the main terminal. Baltimore has one that goes from near the PA line to downtown Baltimore and out to the airport. In Florida, there are trains that are automated in Miami and Jacksonville. There are probably a lot of these trains running in different states. I like them, except for the fact that some make too many stops, which extends the time to get to the end of the line.

When I lived in the Seattle region, I sometimes rode the monorail (elevated train, driverless) as a novelty. It only went a very short distance, and was more like an amusement park ride. But visitors to the city found it fun. I presume they still do.

I no longer live in the big cities, so I don't have to worry about it.

I would take them in this situation : at the airport to get from one plane station to the next

 

[Teacher Terry]

Definitely not!

 

[Knight]

A bus like that in a rural area in America I'd try.

Hopefully rural China doesn't include

our is not short... it's over 20 miles long

 

[astralcat]

Nope.

 

[Naturally]

... what could go wrong?

 

[January]

I've been on those trains at Singapore airport

Also the maglev (magnetic levitation) train in Shanghai which gets up to 350 km/hour

 

[smiley]

something always eventually goes wrong - either small incidence of large - but this development is also taking employment away from humans

 

[RambleTamble]

Sure, I'd ride in a fully autonomous vehicle. It's usually the people who get in the way of the autonomous vehicle that get hurt -- not the people in them.

 

[Jazzy1]

I would because while these drive around on their own, on complicated roads or during traffic, these are remote controlled. So there's actually someone watching it and controlling it.

 

[horseless carriage]

More and more self driving vehicles are coming onto the roads. How long before we get a country song where a guy's truck leaves him.

Sometimes humans think they are damned smart and then there is the fall?
