I agree. Not everything in life needs to be a personal interaction. I just want to get from A to B. One of the reasons I like an actually functioning mass transit system is that you just get on and get off. Subways don't rate people (yet) and that is something I think good regulation could enforce here too. The problem is we have a long history of bad regulation when it comes to mass transit so we will see.

would be nice to get that one day. In the meanwhile I guess LA is spending that budget here on Waymo for even more cars in traffic.

What makes you think that people who take Wayne rides aren't automatically rated?

Was not Uber plan to use human drivers as a stop-gap to autonomous driving? I doubt that they will remove ratings if they ever achieve that.

And Waymo is going to the same destination, just approaching from other direction.
