As a getaway car with no driver to give testimony...

How would they drive it?

Yes, there are positives to this as well I'll admit.

There will be a redundancy system.

And who can be charged with ramming the shop front if it's driverless. We'll need to be building bloody great multi-storey car parks so we have enough 'prisons' for these cars!

Where am I?

You're in an UBER cab.

How did I get in here?

I'm sorry. Would you please rephrase the question?

How did I get in this taxi?

The door opened, you got in. (rolls eyes) Hell of a day, isn't it?

My last Volvo claimed far too much sick pay!

Fuckers not even employed yet and they are already after redundancy.

Scary shit :)

I've actually been shouting about this sort of stuff from the rooftops for fourish years without much traction.

Often on Bluemoon.

The robotics revolution will cause more change in how human economies operate than the Industrial Revolution, and it will do so on a timescale of decades rather than centuries.

Was reading an article recently, and the question was asked, if you had your own driverless car, would you be able to go on the lash, and have it drive you home? Some argued that it would be likely that some law will state, that there has to still be one person in the car who is sober, in case of 'emergencies'

But if you and mates all pile into a driverless cab, what's the difference?
