James, are driverless cars coming?
I don't know about you.
I've seen loads of Waymos around London recently.
It's slightly less cool when there's a man sat behind the wheel, like when they're testing them right now.
It's like...
It just looks like he's driving.
I'm down with that.
This might surprise you slightly, but I'm all for Waymos.
Oh, not wearable sunglasses, but he's happy to get in a driverless car.
I don't like driving.
So, frankly, I don't mind being driven around by a Waymo.
And actually, you know what?
There are huge issues.
The glasses thing, they look a bit naff.
There's privacy issues.
And I think it would be a real shame if, you know, at the moment, you...
i i take the tube to work and i get on the tube and everyone including myself has got headphones in and you know nobody talks nobody looks at each other we all get it's only going to get worse if with with with these glasses it's only going to make things you know it's only going to escalate that issue whereas driverless cars you can have a nice conversation you can in a car because someone's not got to drive you can play music whatever and also i would hazard a guess
that actually these things are going to be way safer than human drivers once all the testing is done.
So you know what?
I'm team Waymo.
