There are few better test beds for driverless cars than Phoenix metro, from technical, legal, and customer-concern viewpoints.
- samstave 9y agojeasus christ I dont know why you all are literally sticking your heads in the sand about asking questions and thinking answers. "because money" isnt a freaking answer to the questions I have posed - so fucking man up and answer if you know? Just because self driving tech is the new hotness doesnt mean that we can be ignorant to the consequenses and then thought-shame me for asking questions. An engineer of any of his salt should posit an answer, and I literally asked for an ELI5 to some of these things and was met by a bunch of jerks who think that these are stupid questions to ask. WTF HN?

One person should be able to watch tens of rides at a time. At the very least, there will be a panic button that will get human support very quickly. I think people are not jazzed about your questions because this answer seems like common sense. And nobody, engineer or not, owes you an answer.
