riding in a driverless car


 Yesterday I went to a Waymo presentation and after it was over I downloaded the app and took a ride with three others in one of these what-the-hell? cars. Google has been working on this since 2009 and they are ALL over SF now. These are all fully electric cars and "they" can see three football fields ahead which explains why I have seen them anticipate traffic problems far in advance. To my amazement I felt perfectly safe in the passenger seat without a human next to me. and what I like most is having choices when I eventually give up Ken, my 2000 Toyota.
