WATCH: South African tries driverless Uber in USA and is left stunned by the experience

South African digital creator Banela Ndaba tried a self-driving car service called Waymo in Atlanta, USA, while following Bafana Bafana's FIFA World Cup journey. The experience, captured in a video, showed Ndaba's initial hesitation but eventual fascination with the autonomous vehicle's technology, including its ability to steer itself and allow passengers to select music. Ndaba described the experience as surreal, comparing it to scenes from science fiction movies. The article highlights the growing popularity of such services in the US and notes that similar technology may take longer to reach South Africa.
