Baidu will start testing out autonomous ubers later this year. Interestingly enough, not on China itself.

>"Baidu has struck a partnership with Uber to deploy its autonomous cars on the ride-hailing giant’s platform outside the U.S. and mainland China. The first deployments are expected to happen in Asia and the Middle East later this year. The two companies said the multi-year partnership will see “thousands” of Baidu’s Apollo Go autonomous vehicles on Uber globally."

Can't joyride a delivery robot (actually i've seen a russian try, but he didn't get far), but if those automated cars are fully functional and driveable (which legally I believe they still have to be) niggers will try to steal them.

quite a buch of them do not even have steering wheels, it isn't that simple as you enter one and just drive away. It will only be a issue if local laws force them to have a manual mode.

The one you posted does have a wheel mate, even in that concept it's tucked into that panel in front and folds out. That's just the concept though. In reality it's just a regular wheel.

This is not even new.
China has had driverless public transportation for ages now.

At least driverless car won't finish you off with a shovel when it hits you.
