• 0:07
  Speaker 2: You may remember when they tested those way Mo cars
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: here for just a short period of time. But there's
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: none here now except one day. They'll be coming for sure.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: So what are you looking at me? You're looking at
• 0:21

  Speaker 2: It just says here it's the test is over.
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: The test is over.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Those pilot permits expired, so it might have been recent,
• 0:33

  Speaker 2: Natalie mcgleori and her Beat on the Street asks when
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: they come, are New Yorker is going to get inside
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: a driverless car?
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: I'm sure everybody can sort of make their own assumption
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: on that.
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: Look.
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: New York City's always on the move, so can a
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: robotaxi really account for all the obstacles.
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: That come with driving here?
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: One study out of Hunter College suggests self driving taxis
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: made by Waimo may not be up to the challenge.
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: So before statistics even come into play, would New Yorkers
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: get into one?
• 1:14
  Speaker 5: Oh no, I will not.
• 1:17
  Speaker 6: Just the unreliability yeah, we never know what can happen,
• 1:20
  Speaker 6: what malfunctions can happen.
• 1:22
  Speaker 7: I'd rather trust a human and a robot for now.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: When would it change for you?
• 1:26
  Speaker 7: Test at first, let other people try it, and then
• 1:29
  Speaker 7: in twenty years I'll trust it. Kind of like a
• 1:31
  Speaker 7: cell phone. In the beginning when it came out, we
• 1:33
  Speaker 7: didn't trust it. Now we do.
• 1:36
  Speaker 6: The technology. You know, we're going to destroy ourselves technology.
• 1:40
  Speaker 6: Arnold swats hang On was the government. He knew something
• 1:43
  Speaker 6: when he woke terminated, because we had it right that way.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: He leaked some secrets he knew was coming.
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: Look, researchers say over the past five years, there have
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: been sixteen Uber and Lyft accidentstead have resulted in serious
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: injuries deaths in New York City. That's compared to three
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: accidents involving wimos across the country.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: But there's a caveat there. The Uber and Lyft.
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: Data looks at one hundred and twenty thousand driving miles,
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: so they've driven one hundred and twenty thousand miles in
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: this study. The data for wimos only accounts for four
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: thousand miles, so that's a Researchers argue far fewer miles
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: for these wamos, these self driving taxis. New Yorkers say,
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: there's nothing quite like driving in the city.
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: You know, I guess if you drive on a highways,
• 2:37
  Speaker 5: it's pretty easy. There's not a lot of sharp turns
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: and abrupt stops. You know, a pedestrian can pop out
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: of anywhere. So you got you gotta be like really
• 2:48
  Speaker 5: aware when you drive into city. I'm not sure if
• 2:52
  Speaker 5: a robocar could do that.
• 2:53
  Speaker 6: A lot of traffic, a lot of people, a lot
• 2:56
  Speaker 6: of motor vehicles, a lot of unpredictability.
• 2:59
  Speaker 7: Get their getting too ambitious. They're not thinking clearly, they're
• 3:02
  Speaker 7: not really thinking about what we need access Now.
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: Overall, weimo robotaxies are involved in sixty seven percent fewer
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: crashes than four higher cars in this city.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: But remember there's a there's a discrepancy.
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: There's that one hundred and fourteen thousand more miles that
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: have been driven by New York City for higher vehicles.
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: The study finds these robotaxis could also lead to more
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: congestion in the city if they can't find a spot
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: or circle blocks without passengers, because they're going to be
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: moving at certain speeds. However, New York Governor Kathy Oakle
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: seems to have rescinded her support for expanding self driving
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: taxis throughout the state. Remember there was this big push
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: for them. She was going to bring them out of
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: the out of the ottle Boroughs and even expand them
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: throughout the state.
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: Some say, good call for the economy.
• 3:52
  Speaker 7: There's enough people here, youth people. She has used people.
• 3:55
  Speaker 7: Give us the jobs. It started giving it to a robot.
• 3:58
  Speaker 7: It's it's weird. It's giving a tryan toil. Minds is giving.
• 4:01
  Speaker 7: It's given weird. Give it to the people. Let us
• 4:03
  Speaker 7: do it so we can have an income.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: We're here to serve a purpose.
• 4:07
  Speaker 6: And by having electronics door for us, what's the sense
• 4:11
  Speaker 6: of us?
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: Where do we go from here? I see one or two,
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: but I don't see too many in.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: But the minute I said too many in, now I'm
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: gonna will you because they might take over the business.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: You know, a cabby.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: Remember I was in Palo Alto when I lectured at
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Stamford against the evils of WAIMO and artificial intelligence. I
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: was two miles away from the campus YEA, and there
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: were only waymos. There were no driver cars, so I
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: walked it rather than take away.
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: You did, yes, But that's how long did it take
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: you to walk two hours?
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: Because it's not you're not walking city miles. You're literally
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: walking oh forever.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: And it's gorgeous out there, Palo Alto. But I'm telling
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: you waymos were everywhere. Remember when I came back and
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: I told you all I would not step into a
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: way more. In fact, I felt like jumping in front
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: of a waymo and see if it would actually stop.
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: You know, I you should have tried at least taken
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: off your your breath and has like thrown it and
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: seen if it sends day instead of your whole body.
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: But anyway, I was just surprised this morning walking in
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: Midtown that I didn't find one person who said, oh,
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: I've been in one. Sometimes you get the mix, but
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: we really got a lot.
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: Of New Yorkers this morning saying absolutely not haven't been
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: in one, not trying to get in one.
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: Oh okay, I'm sure Curtis is happy that it was
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: mostly New Yorkers you talk to today.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, Curtis, like you knew following California love.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: I the taxis here are such a part of the
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: fabric of the community, you know, it's it makes it
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: New York exactly.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: Natalie will be with you, shame time, shag place. Tomorrow,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: You'll be in the streets and I don't care.
