Are you talking about the Robotaxi where there’s a man sitting behind the steering wheel?


His name is Rob. Rob-o-taxi.


Next to, not behind. I see a strong future for both Waymo and Tesla in the driverless car biz.

Tesla is probably a year behind on their software, but they can scale out infinitely faster than Waymo on the hardware.

Either way, we win.


No, I'm pretty sure this one is the one where he is behind the steering wheel.


Being next to the steering wheel is worse. If the human needs to be in the car, then he should be behind the wheel. Putting him next to the wheel is categorically stupid and only serves as theater for fools.


Or the one with the fake man behind a white lever? https://youtu.be/eAkeZqAN_qU?t=20
