Remember when Arnold Schwarzenegger climbed into a robotaxi in the original Total Recall? Yes, I'm trying to forget that scene as well, especially since there's no reason to have an automaton "driving" the vehicle other than comic relief.
Today, if you visit built-from-scratch Masdar City in the United Arab Emirates, you can hop into a real robotaxi. A European company called 2GetThere runs a fleet of 10 autonomous taxis transporting 25,000 people per month. Granted, the drive-by-wire cars follow a prescribed route in a closed city without any other traffic, so they won't get quite as creative with navigation as a New York City cabbie. But Google and others are trying to bring us a future of true self-driving cars, whether we're ready for it or not.
