I wrote this in Feb 2020 after years of downvotes criticizing self driving cars and AI https://medium.com/@seibelj/the-artificial-intelligence-scam-is-imploding

  Self driving cars are here now, I'll take that 1000 dollars. Or do you have some specific definition of what qualifies as "here" that generally makes people unwilling to take this bet?

    Able to pick me up at my apartment in Boston and take me to a location in Cambridge. I would not say the current "self driving cars" in Phoenix are anything close to ready (even for Phoenix!)

      I think if I knew you I'd happily bet this, but I don't make it a habit of randomly betting people online. I think if the bet is a robotaxis ride across Boston area by 2031, should be no problem. Frankly a Tesla could probably do it now.

        There is a website https://longbets.org/ https://longbets.org/ Long Bets that's let people do this. Essentially it's to publicly state to the world you are betting, and the winner donates to charity. I would do this here with my real name. My requirements: - The time of day or night of my choosing - Anytime type of weather - except: - Will not be during snow or with excessive ice coverage (although this should be fine, IMO) - Must not have a driver physically there who takes over, nor be driven primarily by remote drivers (remote support could be an option, but it's not a "remote control car" robo taxi) If you accept, I'll arrange it and wager the $1000
