I don't understand this guy's claim that Wednesday was the first day fully
autonomous vehicles launched in a city without a steering week, without
manual controls, etc.  Waymo has been doing that for at least two years.  It
could be that Waymo launched with cars which had manual controls,
originally, but they don't have them now.

 

These are American made however, as opposed to Waymos which are British I
think.  I have been seeing the gold colored Tesla taxis for a few weeks now,
over in Sunnyvale mostly.  I haven't ridden in one, but I might go over
there and ride just for the hell of it.
