The technology clearly isn’t there yet, close but not yet. I would say 10 years or less for the tech to get there. So 2025.

I’m not seeing that at all. To be reliable enough to be safe these systems will have to be entirely internal to the vehicle. You could not rely on our current cell tower or wireless infrastructure to control vehicles.

Seriously?

BMW, BMW, BMW. I’m shocked that I am not seeing any comments about this yet.

I understand the gas mileage thing, I don’t understand why Prius drives are so determined to drive slower than traffic in the left lane. Please help me understand.

And what I love is that sales of these vehicles spike as soon as gas prices drop, and drop when they go up.

I have to ask why anyone would decide that a TEXT is the appropriate way to take that first big step in communicating that you care for someone?

I agree with pretty much everything until you get into the Gen-X’ers. You have been handed a shit economy and student loan situation.

Clearly you are from the accounting department, thinking in a penny wise and pound foolish way, not considering how easy it is to drive customers away. Nor considering the very high costs involved in attracting new customers vs how much cheaper it is to retain existing customers.

Because they will not all be acting in unison to have a better case.

Funny, it’s a job that has attracted a lot of people who want to be obeyed. We have countless videos of cops who lose their shit and actually escalate situations because they were “disrespected”.

I agree that the tech is not there, but I think you are wrong about the tipping point. The point at which those jobs will be replaced is only at the point where consumers prefer the tech over people. Even if today there was a robot that could replace a human, people would likely boycott stores that fired people and…

I’m just selfish. We have an economy that is entirely driven by consumer spending.

I once worked for a company that did not allow us to pay a competitive wage to our entry level staff and we constantly argued that we had to raise it to attract better candidates and reduce turnover.

Could be. I would say that many people confused their hatred of the war with hatred of veterans. Not everyone ran up to spit on veterans.

Not just the NFL. We went through a time in Vietnam when the general public was generally awful to veterans and we should be ashamed of that.

My concern is that there is so much focus on punishing speech rather than punishing actions.

Guess what, her lawyers are “Liberty Counsel” and this publicity is driving in crazy donations to their organization.

Please, most of my family lives in rural PA. There a reason for the old expression “PA is Phili and Pittsburg with Alabama in the middle”.

My family is mostly from PA and so I pay attention to this., You are entirely right, except the “PA man” stories are usually less amusing than “FL man”.
