Would you like to put your health and safety in the "hands" of a robotic car, a car with no human driver? Many are already doing that. "Robo taxis" are no longer just a cool theory. They are operating in a number of big cities.
Two young millennial women recorded their experience renting and riding in a Waymo robo taxi for the first time in the video below for Kia-Hyundai. They called for the taxi on a phone app.
It's not just a matter of telling the taxi where to go. Some features they discovered that helped or surprised them:
- real time ETA (expected time of arrival) of when the requested taxi would come
- an app button to unlock the doors when the taxi arrived
- a digital display map of their location in both front and back seats
- an app button command option was available to "pull over"
- choice of music
