Totally agree - however, the technology would be superb if used on the battlefield to defeat terrorists. Or even used in a major city in a hostage situation. The technology itself is incredible, but totally wasted as a taxi - just my opinion! I was around the industry when GPS was first conceived for use in the Defense Industry and that technology was found to have commercial uses, so maybe driverless is on the books for other uses.
