      This, along with the story of the driverless car running over a beloved neighborhood cat, highlight the fundamental problem here: they’re training these systems to be autonomous cars - and they’re impressively close - but they’re still miles away from creating a simulation of an autonomous human. Not everything about operating a car is driving it.

        Or they’re in a hurry and didn’t realize the door was ajar when they left the vehicle.

        Pretty normal for this to happen at the airport, especially when you’re carrying a bunch of bags, juggling kids, etc. Normally, its not a big deal, because the cabbie will pop out and close the door if they get the alert. But here, there’s no remote way to close the door and no way to signal the rider that it didn’t close completely.

      I didn’t imply the human didn’t know how to close a car door. I am saying the human is dumb for specifically choosing to be a piece of shit for NOT closing the car door.

      I’m speaking strictly on the nefarious side of things because I can’t understand simply “forgetting” to close a car door… but that again circles back to the dumb part of the human brain.

        In “choosing to be a piece of shit” they put $11.25 in a door dasher’s pocket. That’s probably enough for like one taco in San Francisco, but still… They gave a dasher a taco.

        human is dumb for specifically choosing to be a piece of shit for NOT closing the car door.

        Depending on what I’m doing, I periodically have to double back and re-close a door if I didn’t close it hard enough. Modern cars have built in alarms specifically to alert drivers when a door latch isn’t secured. You don’t have to be a piece of shit to fail to notice that a door is ajar.
