    You really are unnecessarily aggressive and still incorrect. While USUALLY there is a driver and USUALLY the vehicle is privately owned, that does not have to be the case. I have no “dream scenario,” I just pointed out that you incorrectly compared the person’s comment about ridesharing and taxis to a bus, which is not at all similar.

      How is it not comparable?

      It’s a vehicle on four wheels, on public roads.
      It transports multiple people from A to B.
      The people might not be acquaintances.

      One is “hail and hope it arrives within reasonable time”, the other has a set timetable and can carry more people more comfortably.

      It is absolutely comparable, you are incorrect.

        Who said anything about riding with randos? Regardless, I guess by your definition waymo is busses, lyft/uber are busses, all rideshares are busses, taxis are busses, hell, everything is busses. Why do we have all these words when we can just say busses! Lmao.

          My dude, do you not know what fucking ride-sharing is?

          A has a car and shares it with B.

          A might not be in acquaintance with B.

          There HAS to be A and B for it to have “ride-sharing capabilities”.

          Or else it’s a self-driving van.

          Lyft/ubers are illegal taxis. There’s a driver and a passanger. Going from point a or b. No stops, no randos.
