I tried one on out SanFran last year. Quite a novel experience, but a) the journey took longer than uber because it will only keep to main routes, and b) c.30% more expensive |  |

They don't read temporary road blocks either - anecdotally one drove through a police shoot out recently. |  |

| the white car with the black top... on 16:33 - Apr 1 with 3500 views | JPC | This has been irritating me / confusing me so maybe someone can reason with me. This feels like a problem that doesn’t need solving. Black cabs, Uber, mini cabs all relatively easy to get and certainly in the case of black cabs provide some level of safety and security. Plus it gives employment to many thousands of drivers. ‘This development will make a handful of people very rich at the expense of many people. At the risk of sounding like a Luddite, why is this being allowed to happen? |  | |  |
| the white car with the black top... on 16:36 - Apr 1 with 3497 views | NW5Hoop | I was in Atlanta the other month and pretty much every time I ordered an Uber a driverless one came. They don't do the airport routes – I guess the unpredictability of pulling up at a chaotic terminal would be too much – and they are very cautious – they will stop for more or less anything. That said, I they were very reliable, and I never had to make conversation. |  | |  |

I think you’ve answered your own question, JPC. A few getting rich at the expense of the many. They have to pay those pesky drivers. Get rid of them and it’s kerching time. Twas ever thus. |  | |  |

You sure? - ‘Screaming in the corner’. |  | |  |
