Boredom is going to be a huge concern here. The human factors research says clearly that humans stink at overseeing highly automated processes effectively

Your point? They also hold 4 people as opposed to 16. This whole thing was supposed to be a proof of concept and this concept would have a lot more people’s confidence if the only hurdle was scaling up the speed and passenger capacity.

Something TBC has yet to prove.

This feels appropriate:

Oh, maybe. Us cynics are still waiting for him to show any actual “technology advance” on the tunneling front. He’s just building small-unsafe-unsupportable tunnels, because he doesn’t know shit about actual tunneling.

It’s so good. I still keep meaning to do this as a Lemons theme.

Also, !!!!!!!!!!!

You have NO IDEA how much I want to put a foxtail on the 944. I have a useless antenna that got drilled through the fiberglass sunroof panel (and thus, has no ground...I’m still mad about this), so it must happen.

I completely dig this one though. Turbo Volvo mill too.

How do you find spare parts for a Lada ?

Everyone else had left-over 70's Chrytser K cars.

I think we all just need to ask ourselves the question, “Do you trust Elon Musk to drive your car?”.

The only real problem I have with them is that they are burning through all of the cash they have been given by investors to keep the price of the rides artificially low, which people like. Their goal is to squeeze out all of the competitors, then raise prices and actually start making money when they are free to…

The point of the article is that this “improvement in the process” already exists at every major airport, it’s called a taxi stand. Lyft “improved”their airport pick-up method by just using the same idea taxis have been using for decades, but Lyft acts like it came up with some entirely new concept.

I’m glad to see someone else recognizes this shit for what it is.

bingo. SV types “inventing” things that have existed for many decades and calling it disruption is one of the most annoying things about our fallen and decaying empire.

This is what I’ve wondered as well. I only use Uber over taxis because it’s way more convenient to hit a couple buttons on my phone than it is to call someone and explain the ride I want to pay them for.

SHITSHOW OR SCAM?
