“This is it. We’re dead. We’re going to die right here in the Waymo.”

This combined with another recent article from some insiders at Tesla saying, along the lines, “You couldn’t pay me to let one of these things drive me somewhere.”

And yet I still know people who are just so chuffed about “never having to drive again.”

EDIT: Comments have pointed out that this story is, at best, overblown and semi-fabricated otherwise. Take it with a massive grain of salt. But feel free to discuss self-driving, waymo, etc in the comments!

    Not having to drive again will be awesome. But Never would I think the first version of that to be the one that gets it right.

      You are absolutely correct. I hate driving. I take any opportunity to not do it that I can.
