Anything that reduces the number of poorly paid jobs for the sake of generating more money for the already rich is great by me I guess.

I hope someone that is more knowledgeable about this can correct me but haven't mobile robot been used in warehouses for years? Don't some of the branches use mobile robots? What's the difference between a driver-less bus and an office robot besides having riders?

While it is a shame that someone died in an accident involving a self-driving vehicle, isn't it interesting that very little is mentioned in the news about the many, many that die everyday involving vehicles with actual human drivers behind the wheel?
