Earlier today I watched a video in which the YouTuber rode in a Waymo self-driving taxi (Although that wasn’t the main focus of the video; it was an air travel video and he was using them to get to and from the Phoenix airport).

Would you ride in a self driving taxi?

  • I have ridden in a self-driving taxi before, and I’d willingly do it again
  • I have ridden in a self-driving taxi before, but I wouldn’t do it again
  • I have never ridden in a self-driving taxi before, but I would willingly do so if given the opportunity
  • I have never ridden in a self-driving taxi before, and I would not ride in one

You enter an empty elevator together with three strangers. Apart from the order of entry, nothing distinguishes the occupants from each other. (That is, everyone seems similar to you in age, gender, dress, mobility, etc.) The elevator is roomy, and with a wide door, and you find yourselves positioned in roughly equal distance to the exit. It turns out everyone is getting off at the same floor. Which of the following options most closely accords with your expectation/preference with regard to who should exit the elevator first?

  • I exit first, regardless of my order of entry.
  • I exit last, regardless of my order of entry.
  • Whoever entered first exits first.
  • Whoever entered last exits first.

  • Now, I’ve noticed a tendency for these polls to get rather silly. Now I do my best to keep things moving along, but I’m not having things getting silly. This poll is very silly indeed. Now, nobody likes a good laugh more than I do, except perhaps my wife, and some of her friends. Oh yes, and Captain Johnson. Come to think of it, most people like a good laugh more than I do, but that’s beside the point.
