Musk/Tesla's new thing. Fully autonomous with no steering wheel and no pedals.
Not sure I'd fancy that at all. Surely just for psychological reasons if nothing else there needs to be some sort of controls a human can assume control of if needed.

The closer we get to judgement day the better, as far as I'm concerned.

Do you actually believe translating benefit forms into Somalian is a full time job? If you do, you need your lumps felt son.

What will the population of Ilford/bradford/southall/ Brum etc do for work?
They'll need to learn how to claim benefits.
Sounds like a perfect storm opportunity there for somebody who can help people who's first language is not English in completing benefit application forms.
What sort of cսnt would want that as a full time job?

Sure. They have the technology. But who will pay for it.? Let alone the cost for everybody who will find themselves on welfare. If they start mass producing fully automotive transportation. That’s a awful lot of people worldwide who be out on their ear. And any great leaders will have a shitload of taxes.(But a shed load of Taxi’s.) Too find.!
Besides. People will always want someone to moan at. When things go wrong.Great idea on paper. But in the real world.?

Makes sense that women might prefer them to a human driver TBH. Given some of the horror stories you hear.

I’ve taken the autonomous taxis a few times now.They’re absolutely everywhere here and are proving to be very popular especially amongst women.Prices are comparable to Uber,Lyft,but can skyrocket during peak hours.

Ever used the DLR? Or the Jubilee or Victoria lines?
Of course, but it's a little different given that's a vehicle fixed on a rail on a fixed speed with instructions to merely stop and start at stations. Not on a live road with thousands of route and speed permutations, all sorts of other vehicles and pedestrians not to mention other hazards to have to interact with. And of course there are controls in a DLR train accessible by TFL staff. (I believe there's a staff member on all DLR trains still?)
The Lizzie line trains and I htink Victorian line are also 'driverless' or capable of driving themselves but there is someone in the cab regardless.

Apparently, the unions have agreed an updated policy for TFL driverless trains.
A dog will accompany the operative in the cab of every new driverless train.
The operative's role will be to open & close the doors...and feed the dog.
The dog's role will be to stop the operative from trying to drive the train.
