   6 years ago in  Tesla’s Autopilot steered car toward barrier before deadly crash, investigators say

  The idea of just riding along without my hands on the steering wheel.... In this brand new technology that is really not yet proven... just seems stupid. Just plain dumb. Why would anyone do this.

   6 years ago in  In NYC, deadheading accounts for ~50 percent of the 600 million miles that TNCs have added to the roads since 2013.

  There are SO many rideshare drivers though. They'd need whole damn parking lots for us all over the city.

   6 years ago in  Boston taxi drivers fail to prove Uber is a monopolistic behemoth using unfair pricing to crush them, judge rules

  It's a bit much to call a government-instituted program a "monopoly", dontchya think? It's not like the taxis could capitalize on their so-called "monopoly", since the prices were all regulated.

  Taxis got screwed. Medallion owners got screwed. If you want to be mad, be mad at the government for letting Uber swoop in and take over.

   6 years ago in  Uber lets your ex-drivers see all your pick-up and drop off locations!?

  What frigging idiot at Uber decided this was a good idea?? What POSSIBLE justification can there be? I cannot think of any reason why a driver would need to know this information. Utterly ludicrous.

   6 years ago in  Time for Uber to give up on the self-driving car

  Regarding the uber crash last week. "A video shot from the vehicle’s dashboard camera showed the safety driver looking down, away from the road. It also appeared that the driver’s hands were not hovering above the steering wheel, which is what drivers are instructed to do so they can quickly retake control of the car."

  Ok so this car which can't go 13 miles without someone intervening did not have a human driver for all intents and purposes. Uber basically unleashed this unreliable robot car on public roads and someone got killed.

   6 years ago in  Taxis are gone. Rental Cars are next. Business travelers take more rideshares than rental cars.

  This does not sadden me. Rental cars are so expensive in some places, and you may not even use it more than just getting to/from airport and a couple of ancillary trips in between.
