Yes, I own Alphabet shares

ShyCapybara · 18/10/2026 18:42

Yes, we rode in them when we visited the LA in January. It was so amazing, kids were really unimpressed 😂

No

DinoLil · 18/10/2026 18:57

Is it an animal with a map??!

MinnietheMini · 18/10/2026 19:14

Yes. Went to London at Easter and saw a few of them driving around.

Mackerelfillets · 18/10/2026 20:23

Not a clue.

That’s fair enough!

Are you going to tell us why you're asking?

Netcurtainnelly · 18/10/2026 21:08

Yes.

Smartypantsloves · 18/10/2026 21:30

Yep, went in one in San Francisco last year and loved it.

LionelMushroom · 18/10/2026 21:55

No.

I have now looked it up. Did we learn nothing from the Terminator films…..!?

Summer26woohoo · 18/10/2026 21:58

Yes but only from random reels, I've never seen one in real life.

GenerationX1969 · 18/10/2026 22:04

Yes because I’ve been in one in San Francisco.

HairyPotter · 18/10/2026 22:11

Yes, I’ve used them several times in SF and would choose one over an Uber. Often they were cheaper, no tipping required and no awkward conversation/silences.

Driverless cars. That's not a recipe for disaster.. at all..

I'd love try one 😃

OccasionalHope · 18/10/2026 23:33

Is it a lawnmower? Or a payment method?

AnaisVB · 19/10/2026 00:19

No but I saw one today and it freaked me out!

OhHobnobs · 19/10/2026 00:21

Nope!

Clearly not. Seeing as we've already handed over everything and the yanks are currently handing over all the weapons.

MadisonAvenue · 19/10/2026 02:04

Yes, regularly saw them while driving around LA on holiday last year.

rockywilderness · 19/10/2026 02:25

Yes- I’m in LA on holiday and took one today! Was a great experience and felt clean, safe and no need to work out how to tip.

SemiRetiredLoveGoddeess · 19/10/2026 02:32

No l had to look it up. Thought it sounded like a Flymo Lawn Mower.

Also saw Hamnah Fry's program.

Can wait for them. Will do away with Entitled, overcharging,unhelpful and rude Taxi Drivers

Who cant even follow a Sat Nav route of less a mile.

Bring them on.

sanityisamyth · 19/10/2026 07:02

No

SpringDaffodilSummerRose · 19/10/2026 07:33

Yes, we went in one - it was amazing and would have no worries going in one again!

Yokodoko · 19/10/2026 09:22

No, what is it?

Somersetbaker · 19/10/2026 09:51

Is it programmed to say "what, south of the river at this time of night, no fucking way"?
