• San Francisco is the most recent city to approve driverless cabs. Waymo and Cruise operate in the area.
• On August 10, the city will vote on whether to allow the companies to expand their services.

Autonomous cars have come a long way since Google's self-driving car project started back in 2009.

Driverless taxis are now on the roads in Phoenix, Arizona, San Francisco, California, and Austin, Texas, but they still feel like a bizarre sci-fi concept to many.

On August 10, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) will vote on whether to expand paid ride-hailing services for driverless cars in San Francisco, meaning they can operate much like typical ride-sharing apps, 24 hours a day for the general public.

Meanwhile, an increasing number of TikTokers have been documenting their experiences of using driverless taxis to get around — capturing the imagination of many viewers.

While most appear excited about the new technology, others are baffled by its futuristic nature, and skeptical about feeling safe.

This is what TikTokers have to say about their experience with the services.
