    Johnny Cab vehicles could be made silent or have their horns operational only during certain hours of the day, but they don't.

    Living in San Fran you would think that way before these auto johnny cabs appeared that in order to get some sleep in that city that earplugs would almost be required? But just you wait! I'll betcha those bleeding heart groups will start saying that those poor autonomous robots are bored when they're alone, so we need to install a great stereo, amps & subwoofer system in those cars! Hahaha

    I'm surprised the cab drivers' union in San Francisco hasn't put a stop to these things one way or the other.

    Who cares?

    Robots rule!!

    Can't wait for them in trucks, OMG I won't have to argue with one, I won't have to explain the regs to one and I won't have to go through 1000 applications to hire one driver.

    Just put my order in at the company, wait my 4 days and then stick it in the truck and GO GO GO!!

    While I can't argue your very valid points, can you imagine the cluster at a busy truckstop or warehouse, if the bots can fubar a parking lot with cars?

    I am sure they won't make too much difference to a warehouse they be saying stupid truckers cant they figure how to drive that's what the majority all others see us I am interested in see self-driving trucks honk at each other because there is other self-driving truck trying back since it gets impatient tries drive behind it only to get hit...
