Comment on Man trapped inside driverless car as it spins in circles
WindyRebel@lemmy.world 1 day agoYes and no. If you’re going to have an independent system like that malfunction then the CS needs a way to save someone from potential harm. People panic and cannot follow instructions and, honestly, this sort of service should have multiple safety features built in if someone is not in control.

Again, the customer service rep didn’t do any of this. They are just following a script.

Yes, but as a customer, who is probably driving in circles for a while now and needs to catch a flight, I would want this fixed right now.
I mean who am I going to ask to stop the car otherwise? How can you be so numb? Of course it’s not the CS-reps fault, but the customer is completely in the right to react like that in a stressy situation when they have no one else to help them?

I’m fairly certain near the end of the video the CS rep says they are going to stop the car for him. So, they have the capabilities on their end, and a self driving vehicle is a bit more of a priority fix for safety of all lives and not just the passenger’s.
It’s not like this is an app malfunctioning where you can close and restart it to force a reset or a shitty uber driver who at least has some form of accountability to the company and their reputation.
