😱🤤😲

This should be good 😌

Are they also willing to take responsibility for the lawsuits they will incur using these test vehicles?

If someone flips the bird, but there's no one in the other car to see it, does it still feel as good?

That could cause a lot of car accidents. They really want to eliminate human employees.

Disaster waiting to happen, this is the worst idea on the planet, self driving g cars is chaos on our roads.

Hopefully it's better than ONTRAC. Walmart never delivers your order, but they sure will take your money.

🧢 gn yalls

Not sure the use of the word 'hit' is a good choice of wording.

nice

every time i see a story like this i think about the AI floor cleaners running around my local Menards that runs into shit all the time or stops dead still and starts beeping when it sees a paper on the floor.

When I was delivering Pizzas during my college years in the late 70's, I thought that my vehicle was already autonomously driven.

I predict the rise of both health and car insurance 🙃

Ha! They can't even get my own self checkout right....so let's trust this.
