Ah yes, you know what’s better than a taxi driver? A taxi driver who relies on a camera with a limited field of vision, experiences input and video lag, and receives none of the tactile sensations that allow drivers to gauge road conditions.
Yeah, but you’re ignoring one thing. I don’t have to sit awkwardly hoping the driver doesn’t talk to me. The risk/reward here might be screwed but I live dangerously.
Plus I welcome the opportunity to sue/fuck-over elon.
I just love we have this nice simple solution to fix traffic congestion and its been around for so long. It even hurts when people say “im forced to take public transit” like really? Owning a car is not a right. I personally do not get the hate for public transportation.
My father when he visits the city to see me refuses to use the subway, even though it’s a five minute ride from where he parks his car - he ubers instead. It’s because he is frightened being trapped in a box with the poors.
When i got into work, coworkers asked me how i got in and i said Subway, they joked about having to avoid getting stabbed.
My friends are voting conservative in the upcoming election because they’ve seen too many poor people on the street engaging in anti-social behaviour (being drunk, and talking loud)
mindblowing that people think you just get stabbed all the time on the subway. I live in Toronto and have taken buses, trains, streetcars, the SRT and the subway. The only complaint i have had is that I wish there was more funding for public transit to improve service. I have seen drunks and homeless people on the subway/bus/streetcar before, but never have had a problem. What people SHOULD be making an issue about is how these people end up in this situations, and how we can help them, and also be proactive and avoid it from happening in the future to more people.

It’s a good thing that’s not what’s happening, but I guess that doesn’t help the “Musk Bad” agenda
also one that has no personal stake in the safety of their driving

People who don’t drive themselves will be responsible for the UI of all this.
This really just comes down to people in a certain income brackets are uncomfortable being in close contact with a working class person.
That’s why they don’t like trains, that’s why they don’t like taxis.

It’s fucking insanity to me.
