Autonomous robotaxis have come under a microscope after a series of mishaps, causing cars and even emergency vehicles to work around seemingly confused driverless vehicles. But one group is rooting for the services to not only continue but expand. People with disabilities have found a uniquely positive avenue in the use of driverless vehicles: the removal of the human component. For Paralympian Matt Scott, rideshares with human drivers have caused more harm than help. "They pull up on me, they assess the situation, they see that I'm in a wheelchair, and then they decide before even communicating with me that that's too much for them to handle," he told CBS News Bay Area.
