Driverless Cars, Rubber Chickens & Naming A Plastic Plant

Double Tap

Today on the show Steven and Shaun find out what its like to travel inside a driverless car courtesy of good friend of the show, Gregg Hayes. Plus Steven asks for an intervention into his recent usage of Facebook, and we gather your suggestions for the naming ceremony of the studio plastic plant.

There’s also more discussion on the accessibility of smart doorbells such as the Blink system from Amazon, with Tiffani getting back in touch to share her experiences with both Blink and Ring.

Gregg Hayes joins the guys to chat about his experience of traveling inside a driverless car from Waymo in his hometown of Phoenix, Arizona. Gregg takes us along for the ride with a video recorded by his son Dave which shows the outside of the car, what it's like inside and how it feels when it's moving along the city streets. Gregg talks about the joy of traveling independently this way with his guide dog and shares his hopes for it to be opened up further in the years to come.
