    Who said anything about riding with randos? Regardless, I guess by your definition waymo is busses, lyft/uber are busses, all rideshares are busses, taxis are busses, hell, everything is busses. Why do we have all these words when we can just say busses! Lmao.

      My dude, do you not know what fucking ride-sharing is?

      A has a car and shares it with B.

      A might not be in acquaintance with B.

      There HAS to be A and B for it to have “ride-sharing capabilities”.

      Or else it’s a self-driving van.

      Lyft/ubers are illegal taxis. There’s a driver and a passanger. Going from point a or b. No stops, no randos.

          Are trolling? You have to be trolling.

          "A ridesharing company, ride-hailing service, (the vehicles are called app-taxis or e-taxis) is a company that, via websites and mobile apps, matches passengers with drivers of vehicles for hire that, unlike taxis, cannot legally be hailed from the street. "

          Let me fucking chew it up for you, little peanut:

          • So a driver and a passanger that don’t know each other
          • Going from point X to point Y, no stops.

          ^ This is a taxi.

          Okay, are you still with me? Let’s hope.

          Now the robo-van does not have a driver. But has “Ride-sharing capabilities” according to the original person I’m replying.

          You either are sharing YOUR ride with randos, like a fucking bus, or other randos are sharing their ride with other randos, like a fucking bus.

          It’s not a fucking ‘private pod’, it has 14 seats. Otherwise it wouldn’t be ride-fucking-sharing!

          IF you’re sitting alone in it it’s just a big fucking stupid taxi.

          It’s a shit bus, that looks like a retro-futuristic toaster to milk money from idiot techbros.
