San Francisco Man Surprised After Driverless Cab Comes To Pick Him Up
A man in San Francisco requested a Cruise ride at night hoping the experience to go by as any routine ride does. The usual polite greeting and an OTP exchange, followed by a smooth quiet ride home. However, he was rather flabbergasted when in place of a regular rider he came face to face with a self-driven car.
The video went viral on Reddit as it introduced the experience as “Getting a Uber in #sf (San Francisco) be like.” The clip which has been going around the internet and intriguing many users shows how the man sits in the back seat as he films the bizarre experience.
The car gets driven automatically almost hauntingly by no one in particular. The man captured the moment and showed the people how the driverless car drove itself to the passenger’s destination. The man also captured how the car had a tablet, fastened to the back of the passenger seat, that flashed instructions for the customer in case they want the ride to stop and have no idea how to communicate to the invisible hands steering the wheel.

The creepiest part of the ride was hands-down the eerie feeling that the self-steering wheel of the car invoked. It was easily comparable to a scene from a horror film where no head or body dictated the direction of the car, only a self-moving steering wheel in sight.
Besides the creepy steering wheel, a robotic female voice echoed in the car. As if from a sci-fi film, the voice told the customer to “enjoy the ride,” and gave instructions on how to stop or end the ride. The whole scene looked nothing less than a sci-fi setup, much like the automated house of Tony Stark.

The video impressed people on the internet as many joked about the thought that by the end of the ride, the robotic voice would ask for a tip. While another thought is that it was only a few years’ time before we are surprised by a Johnny Cab from the likes of the film Total Recall.
