Tesla is reportedly planning a reveal of its self-driving robotaxi on the Warner Bros. lot amid widespread anger in the industry over the brand’s controversial CEO, Elon Musk, resulting in a rejection of its cars.
Yeah, not the best service though, if the customer now has to wait for another cab. It will end up like how often I get opened, likely returned items from Amazon a lot these days because they just put returns back in the pile even if they were returned for defects or were returned after opening/use.
They don’t care to fix the problem and rely on enough people accepting the defective items eventually, because it’s too much trouble for them to return. But it’s a pain in the butt for someone who wants a new, non-defective item and has to return things all the time. I so often don’t get what I paid for the first time so with anything I order for a project, I always have to figure in double the time for it to arrive so I can get a replacement.
So, I’d rather have a human driver monitoring it so that I get a clean cab the first time rather than having to budget the time for getting to my destination so a second cab can arrive in case the first is too unsanitary to handle.
I think you have to weigh the probabilities.
Are vomit cabs really so frequent that we need a human present at all times just to avoid a single failed pickup?
Providing X free rides after an incident is likely more economical than a full time human vomit detector.
Yes, yes they are. If you aren’t familiar with the industry ask a cabbie who has worked in an entertainment area of a major city at night how many times they’ve cleaned up vomit, urine, feces, blood, or any other bodily fluids.
