Electric Car Starts Taxi Service, Forgot Legal Driver
Oh, I'm sorry, did I miss the part where a self-driving car got its taxi license? Because apparently, this electric car company 'informed California that it will operate a limited public taxi service'—but with a tiny hiccup: 'it’s not legally allowed to do this with self-driving cars.' So let me get this straight: it's as if someone opened a cupcake shop without a health permit, then proceeded to sell cupcakes made of pure air. It's innovation meets 'Oops I forgot the rule book,' aka Silicon Valley’s new sport.
