People should just drive the car.
Are you aware of just how bad people are at that?
Waymo robotaxis are already better drivers than humans, by a lot.
Let's see Waymo in not ideal climates. I do not understand this obsession with robot taxis. Waymo is still losing money and would have been a better business if they just hired cab drivers.
Sure in select cities and conditions. Let's see them drive on a snow covered road.
As bad as people are, something like a Tesla is much worse

And something like a Waymo costs $250,000+ which is... Hard to swallow

There's a reason I specified Waymo. Tesla isn't self driving, it's lane assist with a fraudulent name.
