A human can stop you from entering the car in the first place. You can tell the human “hey I’m going to the shooting range.” and they can go “nah sorry.” There’s nobody in the robot taxi so it can’t. What are you gonna do? Talk to the car and tell it about your plans at the range? There’s no other humans in the car to be at risk or even just afraid.

    Waymo taxis can indeed talk to the people inside them. They can also connect you to a remote human operator if you want to "talk to a supervisor."

    If your rule is "no guns in my car" why do you think saying "but I'm just going to the shooting range" makes a difference?

    And those people are only going to do something AFTER you enter the car. A human can stop you from even entering the car in the first place/kick you out immediately.

    I'm really not clear what point you're trying to make. If I manage to conceal a gun until I'm inside your car you can't kick me out? Or there's some sort of time limit on being able to kick me out?

  • Why would anyone un conceal the gun just because I’m in your car? The gun was likely the same level of concelead, it just took the cameras longer to detect what it was. A human can go “hey what’s that?” And when you tell them it’s a gun they can say no thanks. Are the humans monitoring the robo taxis really going to be that much of a person about it? They’re going to wait until they’re certain it’s a gun before doing something about it.

    Also in some states you legally can ignore no firearms signs. A. If they’re not the right size/format or B. Concealed carry permits can just override them in some places. Not sure how it applies to a taxi. But in theory I can just ignore a no firearms sign on a restaurant. But that’s a concealed carry. Ain’t nobody concealing a full size rifle. Especially when getting into a car.
