Although it seems like something from the future, driverless cars They are already the present. In some cities of USA They already work, but many still have a hard time adapting.
This is what happened to one tiktoker British woman who was on vacation in the Californian city of San Francisco and decided to try her luck in one of the famous robotaxis.
Kali Thompson (@kalithompson) took his experience to the Chinese social network and captioned his video: “I was very afraid.”
“In San Francisco they have these driverless cars so you can take an Uber, but there’s no driver inside. They take you to your destination and they call them ghost cars“, said.
The tourist reiterated her fear while laughing nervously as she saw the car approaching. Once inside, sitting in the passenger seat with her friend in the back, she reacted with amazement when Kali’s name appeared on the screen. After pressing “Start Ride” on the touch screen, the car began its journey.
The tourist said, “I have to put on my seatbelt,” as the car came to a gentle stop at an intersection, before turning the wheel and driving on. “This is scary,” he exclaimed. “This is what awaits us in the future, guys, I’m afraid,” he added.
As the car made another turn, Kali Thompson and her friend discovered a second touch screen in the rear of the vehiclewhich allowed them to select their own music for the trip.
To end his review, he informed his 267,000 followers: “Well, we have reached our destination. I’m going to miss it“, said.
