That would happen a lot less if they just used the LiDAR + camera combo like a sane person

Because cab drivers make $600,000 dollars a year. This whole scheme, from tech to business model only makes sense with Tesla stans.

AI makes EVERYTHING worse.

And yet I cannot purchase a two thousand pound self-slamming door, which would be orders of magnitude safer.
