This made me wonder though...the car obviously has cameras on the outside, and there's also a way to communicate with the support team from inside...so is it a stretch to think that these cars could be auto-recording everything that's happening inside the car?

Should we - as riders - have any expectation of privacy in a car with no driver?

Give it a couple of years they'll legalise running down pedestrians for self drive cars. Can't have these jackalopes affecting the bottom line

In an instance like this, our riders have 24/7 access to Rider Support agents who will help them navigate the situation in real time

Clearly that's what a human driver would do, but I guess those Rider Support Agents work for free, so why not fire the driver? /s
