My understanding is that Zoox has designed a more passenger-centric experience, with no driver's seat and the seats set up for conversation. I look forward to riding in one of those cars when they're out on the streets of SF!
I'm wondering if these cars have a fail safe i.e. in case of any issues with the autopilot system or an emergency, can the passenger hop on to the driver seat and use it as any other regular car?
Very interesting observations and chain of thought.
I would have imagined 1) regulations and 2) familiarity driving user adoption as the core driver for sticking to the usual design. But the aspect about creating supply was new to me.
And yes the direction you're pointing towards is a fairly exciting one. Let's see if and when we reach there.

I didn’t know anything about them, but someone else suggested I check them out too. If you end up riding in one, I’d love to hear your POV!
I think this is an incredible working thesis. And will certainly look forward to a working prototype

A friend suggested they could treat the “driving equipment” like a spare tire — and make it accessible in case of emergency.
I love the way you think!
