      Yeah. I mean the driverless EV robotaxi concept seems inherently sustainable, on paper, because people only need to maintain the cars at their lot.
      But that whole idea collapses the second you need an entire team of humans employed to drive the goddamned cars around anyway. I imagine this is why Tesla is holding back on the rollout of their robotaxi service. They'll probably put it in the terms of service that by enabling Robotaxi and allowing your car to generate income, you're also required to have a phone number for them to text when a nearby Tesla gets stuck. lol

    "Okay got it, thank you." I swear this guy is some form of AI himself, lmao. For someone so interested in Waymo, I would expect him to ask a ton of questions to the "specialist" like how often does this kind of thing happen etc. But nothing, he doesn't exchange a word with the driver. Gotta be hardcore introverted, probably why he likes these taxis with no human interaction to begin with.

      Why did Kevin call for Waymo from a private, gated parking lot? Why didn’t Kevin ask support to stop the vehicle right away instead of letting it drive out of control around a lot with a lot of employees walking around doing work? Why didn’t Kevin force some sort of emergency shutdown of the car by attempting to open the door or something? The supervisor is just doing his job to look after his staff while some out of control car is roaming around the work area. If the car is glitched, how is he supposed to know it won’t glitch out and hit a USPS employee as they step out of their mail truck? Everyone, not just the supervisor, was being rude here.
