Whoa, this guy was actually the first person to use this invention.  Here is what he had to say:

University student Harry Hess was the first member of the public to take a ride in the pod this week, and said he liked the idea of the technology. “I’d be quite happy to use a driverless vehicle,” he said after taking a spin. “I’d use it for trips into town, and I think this is the way all cars will go once people get more used to the idea.”

Companies like Uber and Lyft in the U.S. have been talking about these types of cars for a while now.

What do you think of these types of vehicles?  Is it a net positive or negative?  Feel free to comment.
