If you insist on going into the jungle, only an armored vehicle, heavy glass, and plenty of ground clearance.
And the South African cars that shoot flames out from underneath would be helpful.

It was not clear what prompted the crowd to set upon the robotaxi. They can't figure it out, huh? LOL.

Being an EV, it’s the LEAST it deserved.

Because it entered the jungle.
Where nothing good is allowed to remain.
Stolen, smashed, or lost.
It is the law.

Wow, missed that. One of my sons and I were in Chinatown in San Francisco last night. Lots of fireworks, lots of people, and the cars were gridlock. I was actually surprised the entire day in San Francisco and we had not seen a self driving car at all. It’s crazy that they would allow it to be programmed to go down those streets at that time, and with those crowds.

I think those driverless, EV taxis are getting Waymo attention than expected!

Why destroy it? Because it has no steering wheel and you can’t steal it..........................
