Safety and liability fears
Replies repeatedly question how safe driverless taxis are, citing potential crashes, pedestrian harm and lawsuits, with phrases like “metal coffin on wheels” and worries about who pays when things go wrong.
2
Who's filming?/Suspicion about footage
Many users obsess over the logistics—if no one’s inside, how is the camera moving?—implying distrust of the clip or staged presentation.
3
Crude humor and sexual jokes
A steady stream of lewd quips about people “getting freaky” or babies being conceived in the back seat undercuts serious debate with mockery.
4
Job loss and automation concerns
Several replies frame robotaxis as an attack on employment, arguing autonomy will eliminate driving jobs and concentrate control.
5
Distrust and corporate criticism
Tesla, Waymo and Elon Musk are singled out with sarcasm and anger, portraying the technology as reckless corporate experimentation.
6
Nostalgia for human driving
A subset defends manual driving as enjoyable and preferable, expressing reluctance to surrender control to a machine.
7
Fatigue and calls for novelty
Some users dismiss the story as repetitive and ask for fresher, more consequential news instead of recycled clips.

1
Awe and excitement
Replies are full of amazement — people call it “the future,” “next level,” and “insane progress,” with many eager to ride or try the robotaxi. The tone includes lots of celebratory emojis and nostalgia about science fiction becoming real.
2
Safety and unease
Alongside praise there’s clear apprehension — several users describe the sight as “scary,” “unsettling,” or ask how the car handles destinations, barriers, and who’s filming. Compliments about flawless driving are balanced by questions about reliability and responsibility.
3
Economic disruption
Multiple replies warn that autonomous taxis will cost jobs and force legacy automakers and cities to adapt quickly, framing this as a major industry shake‑up. Users point to both efficiency gains and social costs.
4
Tesla supremacy vs competitors
Many cast Tesla as the leader — comments gloat that competitors like Waymo “could NEVER,” and cheer that Tesla will dominate the market if this scales safely. Praise often ties to hardware/software synergy and frequent updates.
5
Practical curiosity and benefits
People ask when and where robotaxis will be available, how they navigate, and highlight potential advantages for seniors, safety (less drunk driving), and underserved riders. There’s real interest in deployment timelines and everyday use.
6
Playful and human reactions
A stream of jokes and cheeky comments—about backseat activities, sleeping in the car, or “no small talk”—keeps the thread light and social, showing excitement blended with humor.
7
Verification and skepticism
A subset of users demand sources or doubt whether these cars are already carrying passengers, prompting questions about regulation, scale, and genuine public deployment.

Can I just add how weird and alternate reality this feels for someone who was alive in the 80s when this kind of thing was all fantasy land
