    They won’t be taken off the road. After the first passengers are hit, they will blame “jaywalkers” and suggest some kind of tracking tech we have to wear.

  That language is too active. It’s more like “robot taxi passenger needs medical attention”. “During the ride with a robot taxi a passenger became unwell. It’s unclear at this point what caused the passenger to become dizzy and get a head wound. Tesla’s CEO Elon Musk told this reporter that there was no problem at all and that the passenger arrived faster at their destination than initially calculated.”
