Amazon subsidiary @zoox will offer rides in its purpose-built, electric, autonomous robotaxis on public streets in Las Vegas later this year.
I got to climb inside one at @CES to see how it feels inside an autonomous vehicle built without pedals or a steering wheel.

I saw the factory where they make these here in the U.S. Love these videos on new tech thats being applied in real world situations. Cant wait for a Boxable update.

The main demand would be for those with mobility challenges. Does Zoox vehicles have a ramp for wheel chair access?

FYI we are in our 70s and can hardly wait for full self driving. Lots of seniors don't drive so well and have a hard time at night. FSD empowers us. We travel a lot. FSD is 20 times safer than we are. Who wants to wreck their car or get tickets. In some places they give tickets to you for being from out of state. Pretty hard to ticket a machine that always follows the law and has a recording. This taxi is cool. It will help aot of people who can't or shouldn't drive.

All the high tech presentation… suddenly falls flat on its face when the bass starts to rattle! If they haven’t figured out the stereo technology… how can they develop way more challenging self driving technology…? Good luck Zoox! Nice work Ellie! Your inquisitive nature, and drive to ask real questions… made this a very interesting presentation. 75mph with very little crash protection on public streets… 😃

@@trespire for financial privacy, we can always keep a stack of disposable atm cards bought with cash… but, with self driving public cars… there are so many cameras all over it, facial recognition is going to be a challenge trying to avoid it all. Big tech sometimes have regulation and their brand to protect…. Small tech likes to sell your data to the highest bidder, with little recourse… If you are a public figure… the paparazzi will get auto-notified… picked up, and delivered at your next destination by another Zoox vehicle … Plenty of boiler room tech scam artists operating around the globe for this opportunity…. Very George Orwell thinking…! 😃

Some questions I wish had been asked. What does this thing do if involved with a road rager? What happens when, and it will have accidents? Passenger emergency. Will it sit and wait for an ambulance or drive to the nearest hospital? Will an adult always be required if a child rides? I can see these being used to get kids to school. Are people with disabilities with a certified dog allowed? Still a great look into the near future.

I drive very carefully. I'm not a good driver, just a careful one. I always let everyone go ahead. Don't mind people cutting in front of my. I drive slowly so cutting usually isn't even an issue. I NEVER have issues with road ragers. I imagine it'd be the same for robo cars.

I would much prefer to ride like this facing family or friends to replace my car completely. But it makes less sense with Uber style taxiing with random people as you don’t need to face them.. though I suppose buses and trains still have that layout often and it seems fine.

Form factor it looks more suited for a Boring Tunnel then the current Tesla vehicle. The Boring Tunnel definitely need to think about a personal transport pod that much easier to get in and out of, as opposed to a conventional car. Unless the whole point of the Boring Tunnels is to familiarise people to teslas vehicles, just like what IBM did with there typewriter in the typing classrooms.

These designs where passengers all face each other aren't safe, in a serious accident there will be carnage in the cabin. Typical Bezos bs, appealing to gullible people with convenience but not making safety the top priority. What's the point of the cheap price when you're missing your teeth later?
