News that driverless taxis are to be rolled out in the UK from September has met with concern from white van men and bus drivers that they might be the only true misogynists left on our roads.
‘It’s traditional, innit’ said Dave, a white van driver from Essex. ‘As much as I love cheering up the ladies with a cheery comment as I drive past, it won’t be the same if the taxis don’t honk their horns or shout something to, you know, reinforce the message’.
AI firms have been training driverless taxis in casual misogyny for months but admit that it’s a challenge.
‘One of our taxis shouted something inappropriate at an elderly woman’, a spokesman told us. ‘ She seemed pleased, to be honest, but it’s letting the side down. Even with advances in artificial intelligence, the concept of “munter” is surprisingly difficult to program’.
Driverless taxis will make the roads safer by taking actual taxi drivers off them.
Women’s groups have criticised the idea of training robots to abuse them in the street. Well they would, wouldn’t they? Probably lesbians or summat.
