So imagine you have automated vehicles that take you to a location, you hop out, then it just drives down the block and picks up the next person and takes them where they're going.
Uber made the exact same argument. That it would eliminate cars on the road but none of the traffic promises held true. In fact, Uber increased traffic in congested areas.
It's goofy to think self-driving cars will do what Uber could not.
Pax are the worst part of driving, the slave wages are another. So Uber is going to take the number one problem with driving and make it worse. All the while drivers are shuttling around the public transportation unwashed, crazy, and criminal, Uber will be looking for new ways to dick them on compensation.
Death spiral, bankruptcy.
If it wasn't for the serious downside of getting caught, I would totally pay a "consultant" to raise my book rankings. I used ReviewTargeter and endured the rejection of dozens of pleas for reader reviews. It was miserable, thankless work...worse than thankless, apparently seeking a book review is an invitation for abuse. Doing things by the terms and conditions sucks ass.
The worst part was seeing products that were clearly inferior getting hundreds and thousands of reviews. They're not better writers, just better marketers.
The cable industry lost four quarts of blood over the last two years but next year they're only going to lose another pint.
Wooo! Pop the champagne.
It's a good start but we need communication protocols so cars can talk to one another and so traffic control devices can talk to them. We need uniform standards for road sensors, lane markers and broadcast obstruction warnings.

How can they do that when they all look alike?
What are they going to do, roll tanks across the border of states that dare defy the time change?
You have to reach Mach 1.35 before it starts charging?
That's when the flux capacitor kicks in and turns your Tesla into a time machine.
Facebook is a megaphone for disinformation. True, there was disinformation around before they existed, before the internet existed, but to spread it you needed a budget. Facebook is like owning a printing press with a built-in distribution system.
If you're disseminating information that harms people, seriously harms them in some instances, where's the accountability?
I stopped logging in and now just use it to cruise the most popular stories. My stress level went way down and I spend far less time there.
Life is better without Reddit.
Heard that the next Space Shuttle is supposed to carry several Guernsey cows? It's gonna be the herd shot 'round the world.
