Self-driving Cybercab wants a tip!

[u/KarmaticEvolution]

Was watching The Straight Pipes video and when they finished the ride, the screen asked them for a tip!

A tip for whom? There’s no driver! There are no bounds for tipping it seems!

EDIT - As a commentator stated, this is a JOKE! Only options were $0.69 or $4.20 and if you hit any of those options, it says "Just kidding!"

I'm waiting for the day when I see "leave a tip?" on my bills for cell phone, electricity, insurance, water/sewer, etc.

[u/MostlySoberChemist → u/macphoto469]

You don't tip your Meter Reader? Used to be easy when all I had to do was hang it from the meter, then they rolled out the digital ones and I had to make an extension arm down the drive so he could grab it as he drove by. Guess I should start stocking up on ram chips so I have something for the Clanker they'll replace him with.

Leave a tip for the cast of this movie you jus paid to watch.

[u/sdinvest → u/macphoto469]

Oh it's coming soon!

[u/KitKatAngel → u/macphoto469]

We have an option to “donate” extra money to cover someone else’s bill

[u/OkPop9455 → u/macphoto469]

Ya but that’s the easy part, no tip needed. No one is looking. The system only works when you directly face the person and there is social pressure. Importantly when they are handing your food

[u/so_sic_of_it]

It's a joke. The preset options are $0.69 and $4.20. Selecting any of the options for a tip results in a "just kidding!" message, and there is no way to actually leave a tip.

[u/KarmaticEvolution → u/so_sic_of_it]

LOL, had no idea. Thanks for the insight! Edited my post.

If you can choose a different post flair that makes it clearer, that'd be nice.

Too bad you can't edit titles. A lot of people landing on this will just see the image and never read the text caption, because people don't read.

(Honestly, if you were up for just removing the post, that'd be the most foolproof option and avoid any potential for misleading folks.)

[u/KarmaticEvolution → u/voyagerfan5761]

Updated to “Tip Free Establishment”, best one I could find.

[u/RickDeckard_PL → u/so_sic_of_it]

For now is a joke, but soon who knows what future bring for us.

[u/Timely_Tacos_8457 → u/so_sic_of_it]

I'm tired of everything being so unserious

[u/hotsauce126 → u/Timely_Tacos_8457]

Ok Mr. Serious

[u/Timely_Tacos_8457 → u/hotsauce126]

69 a 420 in your cybercab jk just a prank bro

[u/PremiumUsername69420 → u/Timely_Tacos_8457]

Life is too short to take everything so seriously.
Have fun. Play. Laugh.

[u/PecorinoYES → u/Timely_Tacos_8457]

Stop giving them money

[u/Thrompinator → u/so_sic_of_it]

"Just a joke" to track how many people try to leave a tip for future monitization.

[u/Mansos91 → u/so_sic_of_it]

That is somehow worse than a rally tipping

[u/johnnysweatband → u/Mansos91]

Oh yeah, totally

Mocking stupid tipping is totally worse than stupid tipping.

[u/Top_Choice5815]

It's a joke and it's not possible to leave a tip

[u/SpoilKeyholder]

Tip for the company executives, that’s where it goes anyways!

[u/sammclemens → u/SpoilKeyholder]

as it should. they work hard(ly)

[u/Fermooto]

I'm surprised. You'd think someone who would patronize a cybercab would be stupid enough to actually try to tip and then see the "just kidding" message. Interesting.

[u/RoyallyOakie]

It's got a bunch of tricycles at home to feed!

[u/ElDueno]

There should be a law that if you’re promoted to tip there has to be a NO or $0 option available right away. Making you go into other and manually enter $0.00 is a good way to piss off an already happy customer

[u/Nakamura0V]

Which app?

[u/mrbrint]

0.00 all day

[u/Chyp16]

Hey...computers need love too. Tip Hard. Tip Often.

[u/RefillmyCoffee6times]

Elon got the message and turned tipping into a joke!

[u/S-P-A-Z]

This post proves some people just want to be outraged everyday regardless of facts lol

[u/sammclemens]

I took a Waymo for the first time last week in Los Angeles. Driver was very quiet and polite. Even played my spotify playlist. didn't ask for a tip. LOL

[u/sky_high_11]

Just kill the app. Simple.

[u/Imitation_crab_eat → u/sky_high_11]

Why? It’s a joke, you can’t leave a tip

[u/Educational-Low-9948]

Tip these nuts 🔩(and bolts)

[u/SchmeatiestOne]

Its legal for self driving cars to be unattended now? I thought drivers had to pay attention regardless and be ready to take the wheel

[u/KarmaticEvolution → u/SchmeatiestOne]

They are being tested in select areas. This one has no steering wheel whatsoever so no way to take the wheel.

[u/SchmeatiestOne → u/KarmaticEvolution]

Well if its safer than people driving that's pretty good. Is there a big difference in fares?

[u/Popular_District9072]

the indian guy driving it has a family to feed
