yeah I think I'll be fine actually I don't know I trust it I don't know maybe
00:06
I'm maybe I'm naive but I trust that it was it would work I think people are
00:11
clever enough to do that now because you've been to like driverless Tesla's
00:16
for like yeah autopilot for like a while yeah we actually ridden one in San
00:21
Francisco yeah we we were coming back from a bar and we took one back to the
00:27
apartment we're staying at and it felt pretty safe it was actually cheaper than
00:31
like uber like a regular uber was I guess cuz they don't have to pay anyone
00:34
and it was cool it was it was kind of crazy because it's like it just drives
00:37
for you it talks to you you can like still like pick your music on like a
00:40
little screen and everything the only thing I did see like a tick-tock recently
00:44
where someone was in it and then like people were like vandalizing the car
00:47
while they were in the car while the car was stopped but then the car just I kept
00:50
going and it was fine that would be like the only concern cuz it's like the car
00:54
doesn't know to like leave or anything but it was cool I don't know if I would
01:00
get in it because it's a little bit I don't know if I would feel safe
01:04
particularly in it I don't know if you know the paradox when a self-driving car
01:10
and there's I don't know two people and it's about a crash who drive who does it
01:15
kill or does it drive into and it's very complicated how the car would react on
01:23
certain things if it were react fast enough then you don't have to make small
01:26
talk with your driver it's not a common people are like yes I don't have to chat
01:31
I have a lot of friends that live in San Francisco that have been in them so I
01:35
think knowing that someone else has done it I'm like sure and I don't know how a
01:40
self-driving car would really react because it's very spontaneous the human
01:44
can react spontaneous on some things but the AI car or the self-driving car would
01:50
have to make those decisions according to the programming and I don't know if I
01:54
would trust that much
