00:00Well this is extraordinary and so exciting. So I've just been at the
00:06pooling station over there, I called in for a quick subway, I then went to Uber
00:11and my goodness, I didn't even go for the fastest one I just went for the
00:18cheapest one because it was coming in seven minutes. So how do I get in?
00:24Gosh, I wonder what I have to do here. Oh my goodness, I had to unlock the car via my phone.
00:35This is extraordinary. I don't even know what to say hello to me.
00:42Hello. I almost feel, I wonder what I have to do. Oh, start right.
00:50Hello, I'm Waymo.
00:52There's nobody here. And I wonder how do they do a U-turn?
00:57They're just so clever. Oh, he doesn't even, he doesn't even need to do a U-turn.
01:02So keep your seatbelt fastened please.
01:07If you're traveling with little ones.
01:13So I went for the cheapest ride because it was coming in seven minutes.
01:18There was no need to go for a more expensive one, I wasn't in much of a hurry.
01:22And this is what has come. Wow, for eight dollars to go to my hotel where I will be
01:31watching CNN and Fox all night. Wow, it's made my night.
01:37I don't know where you can see that but it says arrival in five minutes because it is only a short ride.
01:48It's just fabulous. So this is going to be a big, big problem for human beings.
01:57There will be no taxi drivers.
02:00My taxi driver, so many different Uber drivers. Just yesterday was a guy who'd lost his business in Arizona
02:07during the recession 15 years ago. Had another guy who was an older student, had worked in various jobs.
02:16He was quite well qualified. They won't be able to do any of this.
02:21And of course I don't have to pay a tip. And I wonder whether he's listening to my conversation.
02:26I might decide to unlock the car and not let me out because I'm not paying the machine a tip.
02:44And the indicator on impeccable driving is slowing right down.
02:56Like a very, imagine this being a very mature, experienced, cautious, older driver.
03:05I have the slightest concern that he's going to crash, even though it's the only second time I've been in it.
03:15And the reason I don't is because it's been going now for years.
03:22And it probably has already an incomparably better accident rate than human beings on average.
03:30When I know where we are.
03:31I wonder what pop music is like. Play music.
03:37Like a vibe.
04:01Oh great, you see there's no human being to tell you you've left your bag.
04:23For your safety, the doors will remain locked when we arrive.
04:28Pull the handle twice to exit. The first pull unlocks. The second opens the door.
04:34I wonder where he decides to leave me. Oh, he's leaving me here.
04:38Across the road, but he knows that's an acceptable place to leave me.
04:41It's not too far. Sensible place for him to stop.
04:44You're here. Please make sure it's clear before exiting.
04:47Oh, that's a really complicated thing for the car to decide.
05:00There's nothing I have to do, it seems, except go out and close the door.
05:03There's nothing I have to do, it seems, except go out and close the door.
05:14There's nothing I have to do.
05:15Wait, wait, wait, did I close that enough?
05:20Did I close that enough?
05:28I did close it enough.
05:31Bye-bye!
05:33Bye-bye!
05:52Bye-bye! Thank you!
06:03Bye-bye!
