Ride-hailing drivers nowadays? They're morphing into the exact problem they once solved. Random cancellations. Forced small talk you never asked for. Questionable playlist choices. Sketchy lane changes.

This mess actually solidifies why I'm betting big on WRD's robotaxi play. Strip out the unpredictable human factor entirely—you get consistency, safety metrics that actually matter, zero awkward conversations. Just clean transportation from where you are to where you need to be. The thesis writes itself when the alternative keeps shooting itself in the foot.
