It’s a little first-world-problem to complain about paying someone to shuttle you around, but let’s be real—riding in a cab ain’t that glamorous.
There’s nothing quite like folding yourself into the backseat when you’re anything over 5’8, not to mention getting to open the window for some sweet, wintry air because the heat’s cranked up to 95°.
#HailYes the future has arrived.

Check out some man-on-the street reactions above—and take to Twitter or Facebook to tell us why you say #HAILYES to NYC's new taxi.
