Imagine crossing a road and turning to see a car heading towards
you... without a driver! While this might seem scary, driverless
cars are already operating safely in many cities around the
world. These autonomous cars contain huge amounts of technology
to help them drive alongside other road users carefully. But will
humans behave as carefully around them? Can we communicate
clearly with these 'robotaxis', or are we simply incompatible?
Phil and Pippa discuss this and teach you some new vocabulary.
