I don’t know why but I had the expectation that I would feel different, but I felt like a passenger in the car. It’s just normal.

I just enjoyed it, it was fun driving in this vehicle; it felt like a normal car, yet it did wonders. It surprised me, I mean it knew when to brake, it didn’t speed, and it followed traffic laws perfectly.

That was pretty cool; I've never seen anything like that, and it was pretty neat. Throughout the ride, I didn't feel any type of, like, unsafe feelings or anything like that. I think it's really cool, and I can’t believe how far it has come!

I was thinking of a pedestrian who just ran in front of the car, wondering if it would stop, but I see that it did. Not only that, it seems like it's more aware; it was two steps ahead of the person, as if it had calculated that this person was going to do that. I like the speed too!
