For a second I thought "self-ruling" = driven by one of those sovereign citizen idiots. You know, the kind that think they don't need license plates or to pay tickets because they are nations unto themselves. In which case it's almost a ghost car in that it's not guided by an intelligent life form. Then I saw the board.

I have yet to encounter an self-driving car (not yet legal in Canada) but it probably feels wild driving near one.

I see those stupid autonomous chick fil a delivery bots all over the place in GA. I really hate them. They are slow, clog up sidewalks, and generally impede traffic.

I've yet to see a proper autonomous car, though. And that's weird, imo. I think airport shuttles would be an ideal fit for them.

There's a lot of them in SF, we don't even play waymo slapass any more because we got bored with it.

Sometimes I see those little “self driving” (usually remote driven IIRC) delivery robots and it’s usually a bit of a jump scare, because you don’t hear them coming up behind you or around a corner over the street noise.

The rest of the time it’s funny, because they’re stuck or because someone just never came to get the delivery and it’s just standing there uselessly.
