In most high cost cities, any new home with modern building systems will command luxury prices because it’s competing with falling-down garbage.

I thought the tech was essentially fake and that companies like Tesla and Uber were promoting it to undermine transit. Turns out it actually works.

How is that different from what we are already seeing with uber?

In what sense is Waymo being “shoved down your throat?” How do autonomous taxis gut transit?

My husband and I were able to go down to one car because ride share is there to fill in the gaps from transit and bike share.

I try very hard to drive the speed limit at all times and other drivers fucking hate it.

How does Waymo enable digital fascism? Explain it to me like I am very stupid.

I'd like to know where you plan to find a human driver who always follows the speed limit.

Or vastly increased frequency at existing fare rates.

What you are presenting to me are problems that will require smart policy responses, like congestion pricing and repurposing parking lanes for buses and/or bicycles.

There are a lot of open questions about how this tech will roll out but it has tremendous potential to vastly improve public transit.

Going from one car per driving age adult to one car per household would be huge.

What makes this a bad take?

I mostly get around by bike share and I am in total agreement. A robot car has never punish passed me.

Oh I think that’s some bullshit people came up with as a post hoc rationalization.

Yes, these cars will create new challenges that will need a policy response (eg congestion pricing).

That’s cool. I don’t trust the insane motorists who try to run me off the road when I’m riding my bicycle to the gym.

The existence of viable self driving robot taxis does not say anything about how tech is used to exploit and control people.

Having ridden in the Cruise cars before they were pulled from the streets, it’s clear that Waymo was miles ahead of them.

That said these systems are NOT all created equal and everyone involved with Tesla’s “full self driving” and “autopilot” features should be prosecuted for consumer fraud because camera-only autonomous driving is WILD dangerous.

It’s the deep stupidity of men who are far removed from pre-vaccine childhood mortality.
