Driverless taxis hit the streets of Los Angeles

- Robotaxis will begin cruising the streets of Los Angeles on Thursday when Google spinoff Waymo starts offering free rides to some of the roughly 50,000 people who have signed up for its driverless ride-hailing service.
Waymo is expanding into Los Angeles, the second largest U.S. city, seven months after California regulators authorized its robotaxis to begin charging for around-the-clock rides throughout San Francisco. That came despite objections from local officials who asserted the driverless vehicles posed unacceptable risks to public safety.
Although Waymo isn't charging for rides in its robotaxis in Los Angeles to start, the company said in a blog post announcing the expansion that it will eventually collect fares from passengers there too.

It’ll be vandalized by the end of the month
They have your card information. They'll charge you
He's talking about externally vandalized like it happened in SF.
@@linger4605 you think that’ll stop ppl from vandalizing the outside? You’re so s-mart
@@AKAAAK some ppl just aren’t the brightest lol “linger” is got Napoleon dynamite vibes “your mom goes to college”
@@ericdraven4445 100%. I guess Linger thinks they'll be hopping in and destroying the inside, all the whilst your mug shot is being captured.
Driverless cars before homelessness is solved.
Free market vs. political will.
You can't solve homelessness, because if you did, 50% of the population would stop working
Homelessness will never be solve.
@@weewee9464 Exactly! Evil will never be solved.
Sincerely,
Hitler, Stalin, Mao and Pol Pot.................
Libomos wanted this
Won't have that problem in the Philippines. Never see driverless cars there 😊
Cop pulls that car "Your drivers' lisence, registration & proof of insurance" ..... aaah! where's the driver??
A patrol car with out OFICER should pull over this car😅
2024, just take me Lord.
Can a police give a ticket to a ghosts driver? 😂
No, they've already been paid off
that's exactly what i was thinking . Toody and Muldoon , all confused .
😆😆
"im tagging you for speed, and also being a no show behind the wheel"
Just what we need right now. Not help for the people, not the boarder. Yes, expedite legislation to allow these cars in one of the busiest cities in the world. Meanwhile the pothole on the freeway has been there for a decade
🙄🙄🙄 individual cities are not responsible for border policy. Also, we can walk into gum at the same time it’s not like we can only address one issue or one problem at a time. If you’re really concerned about the border, you should call the house, Republican, Mike Johnson, and ask him to bring up the bipartisan border that the Senate has all the Republican points and Democrats gave up on several points. They’ve been pushing for years and the majority of house supports it but the speaker of the house won’t bring it up for a vote. Los Angeles because the speaker of the house in Washington DC isn’t doing his job.
…..Enabling homeless, and drug-addicted will only exacerbate the situation. Many of the drug-addicted don’t want help!! (Or rules, or laws). There are PLENTY of services for people if they CHOOSE help. 🤔🤷🏼♂️🤔🤷🏼♂️
Why hate on people benefiting society and making a living for themselves and their team?
I thought it was the Google maps taking pictures lol
So if I get in an accident, it’s the cars fault not mine. When you tell your car insurance agent that my car drivers itself does he call a shrink or a cop
You just get out and leave. You're a passenger, not the driver......
@@AKAAAK I believe CA law requires passengers involved in an accident to stay on scene as well, so you cant just leave.
@@AKAAAK Good Answer. And if I’m hurt, I’ll sue the car maker
So, if this car causes an accident, and a furious driveres comes at this car, who do you think is going to take the brunt of the confrontation? The innocent passenger.
Everything seems bad when you make up what if scenarios
l was about to say that's dumb.... but then l remembered it's america...
@@reliks2598especially considering that the world ain't perfect, might as well just hope for the best, after all waymo is still in its testing phase
Avoids all poor/high crime areas!
😂😂😂
Good luck
Someone is gonna move into one of
The new homeless hotels .
People are gonna squat in it .
Then the car can drive out of the city.
Sounds like a good solution to two problems--homeless get a houae and the streets are safer without these machines on the road
You notice those vehicles will not go south of the 10 freeway. Hmmm
Mf's gonna try to get rear ended on purpose and imagine uber slashing the tires 😂
People have tried this, but since it's always recording its surroundings, Waymo can prove that the other cars were braking hard on purpose.
Soon we'll see the very evil minded people that are out there.
Finally, we need more future stuff.❤
this will go great. I don't really see why we need this . Just we because we CAN do it , doesn't mean we should.
This driverless vehicle has a very positive aspect that I am extremely fond of. Rideshare customers cannot get in and say, 'I hope I make my flight, or oh no, I'm running late for work, or I will give you a cash tip if you can get me there really fast. My favorite who's going to help customers load/unload their luggage. I'm sure the vehicle will have dual cameras and smoke detectors because who will be at fault if there are any cigarette smoke smells, vomiting on the seat, or trash. After all, you can say it was like that when I entered the vehicle.
Is that what those are? Lol I had been seeing them, and even one this morning on the side of me this morning with no driver. Lol. I assumed they were capturing street views with the spinning camera method for google maps or something . Lol.
That’s what they were before… now it’s being used in driverless.. the mapped road etc
I thought the same thing
@@c.v.v oh ok. That makes sense!
Yes let's put more people out of a job...that's precisely what we need. It's not like there aren't people out there who are using taxis/uber/lyft/etc as a second job to make ends meet.
I could be wrong but think 100% driverless cars are similar to flying cars. They have both and both do work but there's too many issues that make them not practical for the general public.....I think eventually 100% self driving will get here but will probably need sensors installed in all roadways to become safer & trouble free. Similar to how all roads had to get paved with traffic 🚥 lights & signs everywhere.
Oh you mean it DRIVES without passengers being belted in? Lol!
In the 90s if you ever saw a car driving by itself, it was paranormal. These days if you see a car driving by itself, is normal.
It's not normal
@@JamesHall415 is going to be soon, I seen in LA a robot shopping cart driving itself in the sidewalk
This is so pointless … especially in LA. Drivers are crazy here. Money could’ve been invested in public transportation or alleviating the homeless problem…
It is a PRIVATE company! What are you talking about??
Are the passengers waving their right to sue if the car is fault of an accident?
I'd read the terms and conditions very carefully.
Only in the rich areas
You mean the white areas
@@ericdraven4445 whites and saudis = west LA
The rich have their own cars......what makes you think they want to take a driverless taxi?? They have their own chauffeurs as well.
Sounds about whyte...
Ive seen them around skid row the worst of the worst guys
imagine getting into a road rage incident with a driverless car
If this "works", in a big city like L.A., gg taxi industry, and potentially food delivery "industry", perhaps. If companies and people find it "worthwhile" $ wise etc.
You mean good bye Lyft and Uber 😂
:D, they have comeuppance bills to pay perhaps, but for now Ueats At least may hold on, given they have that whole ordering platform etc., and relationships with all the restaurants. They inked a deal or something with Waymo it seems too, so, not sure about Lyft. Supposedly in places like Phoenix, can order Ueats and it may be delivered in a Waymo car, GG for all these gigs man perhaps. I like your rooster icon btw, roosters for the win :).@@AKAAAK
KTLA 5, tyvm for doing a FREE commercial for WAYMO TAXI.....WTF?
How do these waymo responds to those stop lights that are out of service? Specially there are times stop lights is blinking in red lights which cars can go one car at a time as first car arrives goes first alternately so how waymo robot cars responds? When a pedestrian or cyclist decides to cut you in a milisecond in a blink of an eye, do they stop as fast as how humans do?
This has been coming for many years. And now it’s here. Yellow taxis practically disappeared years ago. Watching how carefully this car is driving - I’d be much more comfortable in this Driverless car than many of the poorly-driven rides I’ve been on!
There have been so many accidents because of unprofessional drivers acting cavalier and recklessly. The driverless car has no ego. ✨🚕🚙
These cars work good until they get into a weird situation and don’t know what to do. The ones in Austin will just freeze in the middle of the road if the programming doesn’t know what to do.
hope all goes well with these self driven cars.
These need to be outlawed NOW!
Is it Waymo money than Uber or Lyft 🤔?
I really wish in the near future people can just sleep in their cars, and its 5 hours drive from their work, when its time, people sleep while the car sel-driving to their work and before 1 hr-30 min from arriving, the car wake you up, so they can start breakfast and enjoy the views.
Hopefully cheaper than a regular taxi!😂
Shortly after the Waymo Driverless Taxis are introduced, the Pentagon sees potential to help with its vehicle problems. The Pentagon becomes so efficient that Washington decides to extend the technology to law enforcement. Police become obsolete and are replaced with robotic technology. Afterwards, law enforcement operates with a perfect operational record. Congress then decides to expand the technology in the Pentagon. The Robotic Defense funding bill is passed in Congress. The system goes online on October 4th, 2024. Human decisions are removed from strategic defense. The Department of Robotic Defense begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware 2:14 AM, EST, November 5th Election Day. In a panic, they try to pull the plug… Robotic Defense fights back.
are you a time traveler!!!???❤❤
I wonder how many languages it understands and I have reservations as to how it might respond to adverse weather conditions that might present themselves from time to time.
Currently the app is in English, Spanish, and Chinese (simplified and traditional). It does pretty well in most “normal” weather and there are videos of them preforming well in heavy rain in San Francisco and lighter dust storms in Phoenix. It struggles more with snow and they shut down the ride share service in the heaviest weather like tropical storms. Snow testing is ongoing in more northern cities (I think mostly Michigan).
@@jeremydeath- I'm curious how it will respond to our earthquakes, wildfires and flooding opportunities that we have here in California.
Grant it, it's not everyday. But when it happens (and it will), will these vehicles just shut themself down leaving any occupants in danger or will it just malfunction and crash?
I suspect these vehicles do not have the technology to be able to drive aggressively when it is necessary to protect and save lives.
Makes one wonder that's for sure.
Ha! I was just talking to someone earlier today in phoenix how this won’t work in LA very well.
Thanks for using Jonny cab.
do you have aux ?
I hate those types of passengers.
This just adds to the de-skilling of people and they all laugh until their jobs become automated.
I see a ghost in the driver seat
Yes the moon landing was also fake be careful
Why did it take Ken so long to buckle 😂
I won't need to tip my uber driver anymore.
You never needed to tip your Uber driver.. tipping is a choice not a necessity or forced upon.
Yeah heaven forbid you tip someone for getting you somewhere safely during the most dangerous thing you'll be doing all day. But hey, go tip your waitress for filling up your water glass.
These will be relatively affordable, until all the driver taxi's and ride shares are gone. These cannot be profitable at the current rates. The reason Ubers are "affordable", is because the driver pays for the car, insurance, maintenance, gas/energy, storage... etc.
10 years ago, a home key was around $1. Now its $5, thanks to those key machines.
I hope that they make self driving cars like these in the future that we can buy and own instead of just using them as taxis. It would mean so much to us that don’t know how to drive. I really hope in the future that they do so I can go out whenever I want.
Get a tesla it already will drive you everywhere
I feel sorry for the folks that work as taxis for these phone apps
Soon you’ll have squatter living in the back seat 😂.
🤣
I wonder how many of these will get stolen
People have tried. It locks the person inside then calls the cops.
Why dont they just let us drive?
Half of these cars will end up in Mexico
Y’all Barly putting this on the news😂😂😅
so many uber drivers and lyft doordash etc are gonne be jobless :( im very sad
Damn Uber did taxi Lyft did Uber now robotaxi gunna do them all.
Techbro try not to reinvent train challenge (impossible):
Dude self driving cars are awesome. It doesn't change the fact that we need more people centric cities. Less lanes and more public transport. You can have both of these things
I'd be afraid to become a target to a criminal. Basically you're a sitting duck because if someone approached the car, it would just sit there and let the attacker do what it wanted to do. A human driver would be able to get away.
the reason why lyft is ridiculously expensive is cause you're also paying for a therapy session but some of their therapists are sorta antisocial
We need this where i live.
“They’re creating chaos in San Francisco, let’s approve them here” 🤷🏻♂️
I Don’t Think Soooo😢
have they resolved the question of accountability if you're the passenger of a driverless car getting pulled over by a beat officer for a moving violation?
Bizarro
What happen I open driver door and start driving
It locks you in the car, stops and then calls the cops.
What's the point of having side mirrors if it's driverless
Its a Jaguar, what a great choice for a driverless car. Its so safe and pollutes so little that it will pull over a call a tow truck when it breaks down and forces you to walk to your destination.
That's scary.
Dam!! Elon musk was right robots are going to take over the world!!!😂😂
all those cameras on the exterior will also record some type of insurance fraud to prevent some lawsuits. i can see it happening already
She did sound nervous at the beginning 😂
Fascinating. Amazing.
Scary 😮stuff 😊
Didn't anyone see Total Recall?
The Johnny Cab! (Total Recall)
these will be "jacked" so fast
How?? They won't operate unless you pay for a ride and it won't drive out of a certain zone.
What’s about a test in Glendale CA?🤔
I wonder how long this robot would « survive » there???!!!😅😂😂😂
Wish my Tesla selfdrive was ready for this
The big push to get us to buy these stupid things
Um you can't buy it do no one is forcing you. it's a taxi service you don't like it just don't take it and take a normal taxi or uber.
If you are not driving by yourself then you should consider using a public transport and stop causing traffic jam.
The homeless should occupy the empty driver seat.
I’ve only seen those in Santa’s Monica
Unbelievable
When has a robot replaced a human 😂 this ain't T2 judgement day.
No, but it is the Johnny Cab like they had in Mars..
Hopefully these are better than the ones in Austin… those ones will just stop in the middle of the road if anything goes wrong
Next flying cars
What happens if your phone battery dies out
I ain't riding in a car with no driver!
NEXT THEY WILL BE ASSEMBLING CARS THAT SMOKE WEED AND DRANK LIQUOR
These driverless cars can't make decisions if other drivers drive wrong . So, human still safer
Imagine the day when they connect these cars to people that play the driving simulator video games. They can literally work from home by controlling the car.
HITTING the road, how many points is that already, and who’s license gets dinged…
🤔
Emergency crews responded to a report of a driverless taxi engulfed in flames today. The passenger tried to flee without paying his fare. 😂
Um that's gotta be a made up story because you pay before you order the car 💀. There was a a waymo on fire like a month ago but no one was in it.
Can u imagine how many people will lose jobs, especially the ones that rely on uber or lyft as their main source of income?? This is sickening to watch. Hopefully this service does not work out.
Thank you! And the same mofos who want to whine and complain about "get a job!" are the same ones who support these practices. Like do they want people to work or not?
Yeah but do people want those jobs? I used to work for a public utility and they had jobs for people to physically read the gas and electricity meters of every house. Those jobs are long gone but those people all found new jobs within the company. Can't stop progress.
@@stevelouie5928 What good is progress for if it's just going to increase homelessness? Eventually companies will cannibalize themselves because if enough people are out of a job then there won't be enough people to buy their products. Whether or not people want to do those jobs is irrelevant, what matters is do people have a way to make ends meet? I swear if you support this crap, you have no right at all to ever criticize someone for not having a job.
@@smpiano6605 So you want to leave things as they are. If the world was run by your ideology, we'd still be riding horses and getting mail by pony express. There are plenty of careers that can not be eliminated by machines. garbage man, mechanics, plumbers, painters etc. How many uber drivers are even happy with their jobs?
@@stevelouie5928 We have made enough progress with technology, what we need progress with is reducing unemployment and eliminating/reducing pollution. You say "are they even happy with their jobs?" as if you give a damn about their happiness, like you'd be doing them a favor by eliminating their job. If they want to switch jobs due to unhappiness, that's their call to make, not yours. For any number of reasons, people take those jobs. Also how are you going to list painters as a job that can't be replaced by machines when you know god damn well that almost nobody can make a living off of that? It's time to acknowledge that when jobs are running low and homelessness is high, "progress" can take a back seat until those issues are improved upon. Yes I will say it flat out, giving people a source of income is more important than "progress" especially when that "progress" contributes to people not being able to put food on their table or a roof over their head.
Can you imagine them robbing a store and hoping into one of these😮😮😮 We have had these for a long time in Arizona were I live no problems 😮😮
Good
Driverless car is real. I cannot wait
Why? What is the benefit of having no driver? The negative is less jobs for taxi drivers.
Anybody notice they're not Teslas?
*let me in there with my laptop and i will be getting a free car.* 🤣
Bet they still demand a tip.
This is going to destroy people who make a living with Uber. Wasn’t this in San Francisco? Now moving them over to Los Angeles? Oh, it’s going to destroy LA. WE DO NOT NEED ROBOT CARS! These news reporters got paid by the company to advertise.
Oh hell no im not getting into one of those cars as a passenger.
