I live in the area and the streets are just clogged with these fucking autonomous cars. Traffic is slower, people end up having to swerve, it's just a constant persistent headache. If I had it my way, they'd all be off the streets and into the crusher

Almost like public transit is better than self driving taxis

Public transit is better, but self-driving taxis are absolutely coming to every city in this country, which is great if you live in a city like mine that has little to no public transport infrastructure.

Luddites gonna Luddite, but this tech is coming, and it's coming to logistics and taxis first.

90 accidents a year from autonomous vehicles. Lazer eyes
