Not gp, but I would personally expect a taxi driver to be better than me seeing the amount of time the diver spends on the road. The driver wouldn't be profitable otherwise.
That said, I also mirror gp in that any self-driving car must be at least better than myself for me to trust it. I imagine that's a sentiment shared by many people.
- yellow_postit 9y agoI agree this is the natural bar, but don't know how to reconcile it with the average person believing they are a better driver than average (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illusory_superiority https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illusory_superiority)
- stale2002 9y agoWhat do you mean it wouldn't be profitable? I am not paying the taxi driver money because they are a safer driver. I am paying them for the convenience, and the ability to not take a car with me. Also, taxi driver incentives are wrong. A taxi driver, even though they have lots of experience driving, have an incentive to drive very quickly and therefore dangerously.
