Synopsis[]
YouTube[]
Talking Ben has a great new plan to save “Tom and Ben Enterprises” – he's going to start the town's only taxi service! To everyone's surprise, Ben's business starts booming... Until a new car shows up that's cooler, cleaner, and fully computerized. Will the competition drive Ben out of town?
IMDb[]
When Tom and Ben Enterprises turn into a taxi service. A self-driving car shows up and is much better than Ben's car, so the gang race to see who's the best taxi.
Plot[]
Because of Ben's bracelet, he started taxi driving to keep Tom and Ben Enterprises in business. However, he wasn't the best driver, so he became a reckless driver and crashed into sidewalks and trucks, and Ben was also a mean driver who refused to slow down or turn down the music. Still, it was the only taxi in town, so there weren't many better options.
However, it all changed when a new taxi appeared in town. Tom and Hank rode it, and the taxi was so luxurious, it was essentially a limousine, complete with peach and papaya-scented air freshener and a pool table. It also turned out the taxi driver was a robot. Tom claimed that it could never compete with his, but the Self-Driving Cab challenged him to a race. The driver who drove the most passengers would win; the loser would leave the town for good. Despite the high stakes, Tom accepted.
The race commenced, and by the time Ben was still driving his first passenger, the Self-Driving Cab was on his third. He realised that his desperate, mean, and rushed nature made him an unattractive taxi driver, so they tried turning things around by transforming the run-down taxi into a party on wheels. They decorated it with fruit and tried to be a "friendly" taxi service. In the end, Ben won 27-12, so the Self-Driving Cab warned that human cars would become obsolete eventually and left. As soon as he did, Ben's taxi broke down and caught fire, leaving him to burst into rage.

Trivia[]
- This episode did not get a sneak peek.
- A Wilhelm scream can be heard when the taxi crashes onto the sidewalk.
- This episode's working title name was "Fender Bender" and would have been the 12th episode of Season 4.
- There was originally going to be a song during the montage with Ben driving the taxi while acting rude to his customers, but the song was removed due to time constraints.
- This is the first episode to have a different background outline in the thumbnail.
- At 3:14 the passenger who gets picked up by the Self Driving Cab says: "Oh My God!". This is the only episode where it says that catchphrase, this is likely due to Religious Controversy on many kids shows having characters not allowed to say that.
Errors[]
- When Ben drives away with Rhonda, all the fruit on the road disappears.
- When Wesley asks Ben to drive slowly to return the soup to the Diner despite in 2:09, the taxi is seen passing Jerry's.
- When Will Zee is waiting for the Self-Driving Cab to arrive, he is seen wearing his outfit from the Cool-verse.
- The video's YouTube thumbnail is not custom.
- In the second scene of the orange truck when they crashed into the orange truck there are different fruits despite this is a orange truck.
