Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 75849, member: 636"] Uber started letting people book driverless rides through its regular app in Dallas, and the Avride robotaxis can pop up when you request UberX or Comfort options. The service covers a nine-square-mile chunk hitting Downtown, Uptown, Turtle Creek, and Deep Ellum, with bigger expansion coming later. Riders get to pick between taking the autonomous vehicle or switching to a human driver. Sarfraz Maredia from Uber hyped up the hybrid setup where robot cars and regular drivers both handle rides to make everything cheaper and more sustainable. Texas has been dealing with autonomous vehicle drama after lawmakers tried to slow down Tesla's Austin plans, and San Francisco residents want restrictions after a Waymo supposedly killed someone's cat. More cities keep testing self-driving tech as part of normal commuting despite the concerns. [/QUOTE]
