What was it like to be in a driverless car for the first time?
I was very surprised about this kind of technology, especially with ebikes and big trucks everywhere. But it was surprisingly not nerve-wracking, and it drove really well!
How did the car handle different road conditions and obstacles?
It handled everything really well! It slowed down for cyclists, carefully navigated crossings, and executed turns smoothly. It even drove better than some of the human taxi drivers I've experienced.
What were some of the car's features?
It had climate control, an SOS button, and even showed the route, speed, and estimated time of arrival. It even had English instructions!
