Cities want to put the boot on robotaxis

What BBN said about it

1. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorCities across the country want to put the boot on robotaxis, and joining us is Bartholomew Oyelaran, who owns a hardware store with one of them parked outside.

2. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThanks for being here.

3. BO

   Bartholomew OyelaranGlad to be here. It's parked in my loading zone right now, and my supplier is circling the block with a pallet of drywall.

4. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSo who do you ask to move it?

5. BO

   Bartholomew OyelaranNobody, that's the problem. I knocked on the window, and there's no one in the seat.

6. BO

   Bartholomew OyelaranI left a note on the windshield, a short one.

7. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorA note. For the car.

8. BO

   Bartholomew OyelaranTwo notes now, and the second one has a diagram.

9. BO

   Bartholomew OyelaranThe company's phone line says my feedback goes to a team. I asked what the team drives. The line thanked me for my patience.

    Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorA traffic ticket needs a driver, a boot needs a wheel somebody cares about, and here we have a company with a feedback form.

11. 

    Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorI'd call that a streamlined accountability experience.

12. BO

    Bartholomew OyelaranI run a hardware store, ma'am. I have a boot. I just have no idea whose foot to put it on.

13. BO

    Bartholomew OyelaranSo I carried the pallet around the block myself. The car hasn't moved, but I'm told my feedback has.

    Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorRex, I hope your sport has a referee who can actually be reached.
