Summary

Self-driving cars are logging millions of miles in a growing number of U.S. cities. Waymo now wants to test its newest robotaxis on Boston’s narrow streets, rotaries, and snowy roads. But are drivers ready to hand over the wheel to AI? What makes people trust or reject a technology that asks them to give up control? And what kind of future are we really driving toward? Host Curt Nickisch unpacks these questions and more with BU Questrom professor Carey Morewedge, entrepreneur Basak Ozer, AAA Northeast spokesperson Mark Schieldrop, and App Drivers’ Union leader Mike Vartabedian.
