Hello, dear boy.
How are we?
I'm doing good.
I mean, off the cuff of the CES show, which is the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, where there was all things robotic, AI, all these wonderful things.
And a report caught my eye in Phoenix, one of these Waymo vehicles.
So it's like an autonomous or self-driving vehicle.
uh was caught driving on these light rail tracks he took this poor passenger who must have been freaking out completely um in front of it i guess they call them we call them trams here in the uk so it's not like a heavy a heavy train but one of the light rails that go through towns and cities and stuff like ram yeah like a trolley a street car that kind of thing yeah it put this poor guy on this light rail track and he had to jump out
No, because we don't have them here in the UK.
So weirdly, they are being trialed on some of the major roads.
And I know in the States, I know in Canada, I know in China, they use them as well.
But I can't imagine what they're like.
So explain to them how it works.
Explain to me how it works.
Is it literally a car with no driver in the seat and then people just get in and out?
Is that how it works?
Well, how does it deal with, I know it must have cameras, it must have lots of sensors.
But when I came to New York, people have no respect to the highway code.
So they will just run in front of cars, run in front of bikes.
I nearly got hit by like the line bikes, maybe 30, 40 times.
I nearly got hit by taxi drivers.
