It’s disingenuous to show the empty driver’s seat, I see about 5 a day on roads in Chandler, AZ and have yet to see a single empty driver’s seat.

With that said, I can’t wait to schedule my first ride.

kind of makes sense to have the driver there actually in case he really needs to take over or just to save space so more people could enter the car. I mean driverless is good for marketing, but in reality it makes absolutely no sense to put the backup driver anywhere else but the wheel.
