Most of us will have to wait a lot longer before we can take a ride in a one, but thanks to the wonders of the internet we can get a pretty good idea of what the experience is like right now.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s important to note that true, fully autonomous vehicles do not exist.

They are far from being cars capable of driving in all conditions.<\/p>\n<p>One such test comes from Waymo, Google\u2019s self-driving off shoot.

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, Waymo paused its services between March and October 2020. At the end of last year, though, he was finally able to begin making videos to show us all what it\u2019s like being a passenger in a driverless Waymo.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Riding_shotgun_in_a_driverless_taxi\"><\/span>Riding shotgun in a driverless taxi<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The first thing I wanted to find out is just how scary is it?

If he\u2019s ever concerned about what\u2019s going to happen next, he can take a glance at the rider screen, which renders what the car is \u201cseeing\u201d and he can work out what the car is planning to do.<\/p>\n<p>If that\u2019s not enough to allay his nerves, he can contact rider support and speak to a human within 15 seconds. They can then ensure the car is operating as it should and intervene if it\u2019s not. In the aforementioned video, the whole time the taxi is having its \u201cmeltdown\u201d in the face of road works, JJ is in conversation with Waymo support.<\/p>\n<p>That might all sound like a lot of work for a passenger in a car that\u2019s supposed to drive itself, but remember this is testing and Waymo still has a long way to go before it unleashes a nationwide fleet. Indeed, when a driverless taxi blocks traffic, and struggles to understand an uncommon but not unusual drivnig scenario, it\u2019s clear the system is far from finished.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Scarier_times\"><\/span>Scarier times<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The scariest moment JJ mentions was when the Waymo taxi took an unprotected left turn in front of oncoming traffic.
