Autonomous On-Demand Public Transit- Would you ride it?

Mashable
Leveraging IBM's Watson IoT tech (Olli) this vehicle can pick up riders and drop them off at any location they request. It apparently can carry a conversation with you as well.

Olli is capable of carrying up to 12 passengers, without a human driver. What's more, with Watson riding shotgun so to speak, riders can naturally interact with the car.
If I was in a large urban area I certainly would use this tech.
What's more, this has the potential to help small cities like BR create an efficient public transit system.

what are the demographics of the area the transit is in?

No, but not because of the autonomy. Because of the poors.

Only if I have to pay and its not free. You don't want the undesirables in there.

I could see a Uber style system that lets members summon a ride. The car picks you up and others who have summoned a ride and are on the route to your destination.
