    Stupid idea that’s clearly motivated by the city’s deference to their tech gentry. Self driving anything has too many questions and issues still. I’m also not inclined to table “well what about the problems with people driving?” That only tells me we need transit, not robo taxis.

      Ding ding ding! We have a safe mode of robot transit: trains. See, we know exactly where they will go because they run on rails. Literally.

        Trains aren’t safe. They just expose you to different dangers, like airborne diseases, pickpocketing, and stabbing.

          I promise I’m not trying to make fun of you but this sounds a bit like a suburban person’s perception of the city rather than what the city is actually like. None of this is more common on a subway than anywhere else.
