They're currently discussing how difficult it was to design a credit card reader for the Robotaxi that would reliably fail whenever it detects cash in the passenger's wallet.
- paulryanrogers 2y agoIs this a joke? Do they prefer the taxis get paid in cash?
- mgiampapa 2y agoEvery Taxi driver in NYC has a credit card machine that is broken unless you show them you don't have cash.
- natroniks 2y agoThis is complete and utter bullshit. Whatever your personal experience, I have ridden taxis hundreds of times over the course of 2 decades and not once has a cab demanded I pay cash. I exclusively used credit cards and have been since roughly 2009
- Freedom2 2y agoI was in NYC last month and paid fine with card, and the driver clearly saw cash in my wallet?
- Grazester 2y agoI dont know how true it is now but I can tell you once upon a time they preferred cash and yes their machine frequently seemed to be broken or had some issue. My experiences were a long time ago before the rise of Uber and Lyft
- renegade-otter 2y agoI take cabs in NYC often and that never happens.
- wenc 2y agoIt's a running joke but also still true in many cities in America. Cab drivers really do prefer to be paid in cash.
