  • Cuz the way they’re running the company is going to get somebody killed, which I know because I also worked at another self-driving car company that did. I was excited by the technology because of its potential, but it’s clear that the only capacity it will be allowed to exist at this point is basically exactly what the op was asking for, a trendy expensive alternative to public transit that also serves you Google ads


  • I mean, even on top of maintenance the entire system is basically just on rails, it has to be mapped out manually, every car has a ‘guy in the chair’ that can control the car remotely if necessary, they also got guys in unmarked vans that follow the driverless cars in case of emergency, and on top of that every car is constantly collecting data and that storage is insane, all of that falls under operational costs completely independent of maintenance issues

    Currently the Biden administration is locking up protesters, not convicting FASCIST murderers, killing minorities, and suppressing the ability to vote, all right now. If you want to continue with the liberal policy of pretending everything’s okay go ahead, but don’t give us shit for trying to do something about it, sit down and shut up King.
