Our robots about to take over our roads.

Okay, doors glow.

I've got to buckle up.

The vehicle behaves just like other road users, so it'll stop and yield at a stop sign

It'll wait for pedestrians in the crosswalk or it'll even scoot over a little bit on the side of the road to give some extra space to a bicycle

A striving vibe if you believe the hype the sci-fi vision of driverless cars is about to become a reality.

These services are going to change the face of how people experience vehicles in their daily lives.

I'm Rory Keflin Jones and in this program we're asking if autonomous vehicles are really about to make our roads safer and make human drivers a thing of the past.

Now we're going to stop driving and let a car drive us around.

I don't get to steer, I don't get to turn, I don't get to put my foot on the gas.

People were either throwing rocks at the cars or using their own vehicle to

force self-driving vans off the road a man actually drew a pistol and aimed it at the

driver we went manual the human is in charge. Full driving automation. That's your

roadways all the way to the city. That is going to take a little bit longer. I ride through the city back sides

I see the stars come out of the sky.

The sky, yeah, the bright and the sky I'm standing by a busy intersection on the

I'm standing by a busy intersection on the outskirts of Phoenix, Arizona. If there's any city on Earth which can claim to be the testbed for a future where computers rather than humans drive

cars, this is it. Both the new tech giants and the established carmakers are investing

in driverless technology and Arizona is where many of them have chosen to do their testing.

Weymo, an offshoot of Google is among them and has set up the first robot taxi service,

Weymo 1 in Chandler in Greater Phoenix.
