I’m not impressed until it can legally drive while it is snowing.

Driving in mostly hot regions on predefined paths is not that impressive.

But you know what fully automated system you could make in any weather? Trains.

I can't take a train almost anywhere I drive. Think they'll open a spur to:

  • The swamp down the road
  • My camp in BFE
  • Anywhere on the local creeks and rivers

And can I bring a truck bed full of kayaks and gear? Oh, I also haul home shitloads of trash I find. Is that allowed on trains?

Trains are the best for moving a human body, carrying nothing, from one population center to another. And that's it.

Not in a robotaxi
