In San Francisco, job and date seekers tap robotaxis with handwritten notes

In a city shaped by tech and automation, a handful of San Francisco residents are turning to a low-tech approach—leaving handwritten notes inside driverless robotaxis.

According to a report by The Washington Post, Alessandra Angelini, chief executive officer of influencer platform Influur, recently slipped a note into the console of a self-driving Waymo taxi in San Francisco. The message was a call for senior software engineers to join an artificial intelligence and music project, complete with her contact details—no LinkedIn post, no job board.
