    I think the concept is cool, and it would probably make a good replacement for buses. In my area, we have on-demand vans run by the org that runs the buses, and they basically take people to/from any transit stop in the area. A robovan would replace those, and potentially replace buses as well, and they could run more frequently because you don’t need to have drivers.

    So I absolutely like the idea, but I still think it looks dumb. Why screens instead of windows? Why does it look like it’s from a video game?

      Why screens instead of windows?

      I mean theoretically you could use Miracast or similar technology to cast whatever you want onto those displays, whether that’s watching movies/TV or doing work from your computer.

      It has windows.

      Why does it look like it’s from a video game?

      I mean why do vehicles from video games looks like they do? Because they’re cool. You can say a lot of things about Tesla but you can’t call them conventional. Sometimes that’s good, and sometimes not so much. Beauty is subjective.
