Mentioning rails and "100% random" turn up an interesting point - people are comfortable with autonomous vehicles when they behave in predictable, understandable and widely known ways. And it looks like the Waymo cars and other autocars in general will do just that. Once people learn to recognize an autonomous driving style, whether they'll be concerned or bored depends on how predictable the style is, not the fact that it's autonomous.
- samstave 9y agohmmm - should we require all autonomous vehicles to be "micro buses-on-deman"d until they are trusted - and follow beaconed bus lines rather than random routes for a while until trusted?
