Ah, I guess not. It's a self-driving Rolls Royce with no steering wheel and only one bench seat. You just tell the car where you want to go and it takes you there in your ivory tower cocoon.

The joke is that self-driving cars haven't worked out they way the promised, illustrated by the collection of videos of Waymo cars getting trapped by stupid problems. I imagined this $50 million dollar car trapped in a flood, or just as likely running over a child.

They're still promising it, but it jumped from $20 million to $50 million.

Meanwhile in the real world:

Rolls-Royce 103EX concept car. Promised autonomous driving. May never arrive though, maybe it was just a hype check?
