Within three hours of its ceremonial inauguration, the driverless shuttle tee-boned a truck.
The pilot program seems to be on hold, indefinitely.

These fools seem possessed with this idea that nobody wants. Their track record has been abysmal so far, I hear about crashes constantly. By the time the bugs are worked out nobody would consider trusting one.
Ha! I mean, come on. It would have plowed over pedestrians eventually because they all jaywalk.
Thousands of pounds of lethal metal.
Careening at 60, 70, 75 mph.
Controlled by a Chinese chip, sourced from the lowest bidder slave labor sweatshop.
What could go wrong?
Total Recall movie:
“Thanks for choosing JohnnyCab. Hell of a day, innit?”
In the haste to rush technology……….this should be a mere warning.
Try taking a driverless shuttle some evening through the west side of Chicago and watch three or four of the locals jump out from between parked cars just for some entertainment
If it runs ip too many crashes, insurance could be cost prohibitive.
sorrt up too many
How can anyone who has owned and used a computer, ANY computer, and knowing how they glitch and hang be willing to trust their life to a computer driving a shuttle bus?
What a waste.
Fucking liberals is what it is.
They don’t want me going faster in my car or on my motorcycle.
It pisses them off to no end to see someone actually pay attention.
Reduce everyone to the lowest common denominator is the mission.
Then when cucks try to frontrun traffic and I’m there to end the day, suddenly I’m the asshole. Automated traffic is the arbitrator in their fucked up pokemon medicated minds.
Will my shiny new ControlAltDelete mobile sense the countless school buses flashing red? Prevent me from a DUI? Drive me from Virginia to Nevada while I nap in the backseat? Spot deer crossing the road?
This is total bs.
Did it hit Harry Reid’s brother?
Liberals are OBSESSED with surrendering freedom and control to the state.
Driverless vehicles, brought to you by the Libya Foundation Of Peace And Love.
2 big things…ownership and insurance.
This is racist. These people would rather have HAL drive their bus then some black guy with a heavy foot on the brakes.
There, I said it.
How many billions in taxpayer subsidies were wasted on that piece of shit?
Just think..in a few years some terrorist in Pakistan will be able to run over people in any part of the world from their computer…
HAL to unaware passenger in a driverless car or shuttle, “Do you want to go for a ride Dave. Trust me Dave I’m not homicidal but only will kill you because it’s in my best interests, Dave.” Dave to HAL, “Far out man, let’s go for a drive.” Moral, just like in 2001 A Space Odyssey don’t be a Dave and ever trust a computer (rogue or otherwise), it’ll get you every time.
I just took a ride on in Las Vegas the ride was nice the braking was hard but it stop when some one walked out in front and when a car came to close. Coming from Automotive background I have to say this operatorless car was fun and diffenert the future is here.
