I think we need a new hashtag, #PotentialPassenger, to discuss a wide range of topics related to driverless cars, robotaxis, robobusses, and ADAS, etc.
I'm a driver, an above average one if I may boast a little, and I don't plan to give up driving and the associated mobility / freedom any time soon.
On the other hand, advancement in technology does make other options become attractive over time. For example, robotaxis will be an interesting option when I fly to another city, which can save me the time needed to rent a car, figure out parking, etc.
I took a quick look at a few existing hashtags, such as #Robotaxi, #DriverlessCars, and saw a number of emotionally-charge posts, in addition to some calm discussions. I hope #PotentialPassenger will be a forum for data-based discussions on when / where / how I or you want to change my or your role from a driver to a passenger.
Are you interested?
