"One thing we'd love to see is a video from a passenger that attempts to elicit these robotic, scripted responses from drivers. The experience would probably be akin to talking with NPCs in a role-playing game. Bonus points if you can get the driver to respond identically to the same question multiple times in the two-minute journey across the convention center"

Worth remembering that these drivers are just workers, so trying to catch them in a video saying something silly or off-script probably won't affect Boring or Tesla but it could result in some blowback for the driver for not learning her/his lines or trying harder to stick to the script. I think the idea behind this Las Vegas Loop is pretty stupid and I kinda hope it fizzles out, but that's no reason to mess with a person's living while it's up and running.
