Are trolling? You have to be trolling.

"A ridesharing company, ride-hailing service, (the vehicles are called app-taxis or e-taxis) is a company that, via websites and mobile apps, matches passengers with drivers of vehicles for hire that, unlike taxis, cannot legally be hailed from the street. "

Let me fucking chew it up for you, little peanut:

• So a driver and a passanger that don't know each other
• Going from point X to point Y, no stops.

^ This is a taxi.

Okay, are you still with me? Let's hope.

Now the robo-van does not have a driver. But has "Ride-sharing capabilities" according to the original person I'm replying.

You either are sharing YOUR ride with randos, like a fucking bus, or other randos are sharing their ride with other randos, like a fucking bus.

It's not a fucking 'private pod', it has 14 seats. Otherwise it wouldn't be ride-fucking-sharing!

IF you're sitting alone in it it's just a big fucking stupid taxi.

It's a shit bus, that looks like a retro-futuristic toaster to milk money from idiot techbros.
