We discuss the future of motoring in the back seat of a Jaguar I-Pace while it's being self-driven by Waymo's computers around San Francisco.

The End Must Be Nigh - because Jason Cammisa convinced the ultimate self-driving car-hating Carmudgeon, Derek Tam-Scott, to ride along in the back of a Waymo on an hour-long city adventure. And even Derek had to admit...
We're getting ahead of ourselves. There's discussion about:
Who Is Waymo?
How is Waymo different than other autonomous brands like Cruise or Uber?
How do you hail a Waymo cab?
...and important journalistic endeavors like:
What happens if a minivan cuts you off and ABS'es to a stop in front of you?
Jason's Van, Jynah, wanted to know. So we found out.
The other question: to what standard should we hold self-driving taxis? Should they follow all rules? Should they prioritize safety and smoothness (like Jason suggests) or do whatever possible to minimize commute time, even at the risk of making passengers sick (like Derek wants?)
It's an amusing, intelligent real-time discussion on the future of self-driving cars. And no, Waymo is nothing like Tesla Autopilot or any other current car's self-driving system.

I was riding around in Waymo's all over SFO last weekend. Used it 7 or 8 times. Including right down there in the Presidio. Sitting in the front seat isn't awkward, it's way nicer than the Camry that the Uber driver has, and once you get over the comfort factor that there is software driving this thing, I enjoyed the hell out of it. It got hung up a few times. But overall, I'm in on this. Solid 9/10.

@@Zanpaa Not even close. Just for starters, the Sniff guy is so insufferably smug about his Top Gear days, as uncharitable it is to say the other guy is a little bit of a bore with questionable car taste / relatively limited interest in and grasp of what makes a good driver's car. TBH, the Sniff guy is questionable on both of those counts, too. By way of example, he had a PDK 997. QED. Absolutely no way Jason or DTS would choose PDK in a 997.2 Carrera. Theyr'e fun for a bit of light motoring esoterica, but not for proper car talk. Guys like Jason and DTS who know their stuff, 'get it' when it comes to driver's car, are articulate and educated, call it how it is and aren't lumbering under the weight of their own egos are vanishingly rare. Jethro Bovingdon is in that category, not so the other people he does a podcast with. The Intercooler pair take themselves, the subject and things like 'heritage' far too seriously, Smoking Tire, please, Collecting Cars was a parade of egos, etc etc etc. Autocar My Motoring Week is decent, if very low key. Matt Prior is good if rather non committal, Cropley is a bit of a fluff journo, always has been but is a little better on a pod than in print. As a combo, they don't really approach Jason and Derek. Nor does anyone else I am aware of.

It helps that Jason and DTS aren't straining every sinew in their effort to be funny while adopting a contrived and unconvincing air of nonchalance, unlike Smith and Sniff. Jason and DTS are miles more authentic, less smug and knowing. I don't agree with everything they say, especially Jason, but god they're just so much more authentic.

It's funny that dereks problem with the waymo is it's too safe and cautious. The idea of self driving cars is interesting. I like the idea of dense city areas being exclusively for self driving cars. It would make getting around a lot easier and probably safer than random people driving as taxi drivers for uber or lyft. The biggest issue i could see is how many less competent companies start up when they see waymos success. I hope the governing bodies don't get lax with licencing and allow unqualified autonomous drivers on the road. Also i would like to see a standard set up for communication between the various companies self driving cars because that would make traffic management even better.

The 5 cars behind me didn't honk, probably because I'm in a lifted Jeep. It was lost I'd say because it missed slowing down where it should and didn't know if it could speed up. Lucky it was turning otherwise I would have. Normally would have honked at anyone doing that. Did I? No, because it wouldn't do any good. Was it frustrating? Yes.

Hello, lifelong yooper (upper peninsula resident) reporting in. First, I'm extremely surprised by Derek's knowledge of the existence of Houghton, let alone him pronouncing it correctly. He's dead on about the hills, they're brutal in the winter, so much so that they close some of the worse ones off. When I was at school there I had an escort zx2 and even though I was an experienced winter driver there were some hills that were open and I'd still avoid like the plague. As far as autonomous vehicles up here, we have no infrastructure for it (or really evs for that matter), a lot of roads are seasonal, and a lot of people here are die hard anti-ev so it probably wouldn't go over.

Waymo feels like a patch more than an actual solution for bad human driving but for what it's made to do, this is shockingly nice. That being said, I support human driving, I just think people that aren't interested in driving shouldn't be and the greater problem with the US is that you can't not drive, there is no infrastructure. With that in mind, this is a really impressive demonstration and I don't think I'd want it to be a lot more aggressive than it is because I get unsettled by cabbies as is, I'd rather it stayed conservative or you could choose between modes for sure. Also, I dig iPaces but it's a damn shame a Jaguar of all things is now in captivity as a taxi. Driving around San Francisco, I can see how Jason found a Miata more fun than his 986, also, 1:07:40 I wonder if that's the Bullitt intersection Pour boir is how it's said in Greek but it's been bastardized as one word said quickly that it never occured to me and I learned French!
