Sure, your Uber driver is still likely to sexually assault you, but now it can happen in a luxury future car.

So on top of paying for electricity and Uber taking their cut, these drivers will be expected to pay rental fees as well. How can this possibly be worthwhile for the drivers?

4th Gear: How is Hertz assigning cars for use as Ubers? Are they going to sell/rent them to Uber drivers? Are they going to pay people to drive for Uber? How does this mesh with Uber’s insistence that they don’t have employees?

Huh? Why?

Probably smells a lot better than normal car exhaust.

I just physically shuddered.

Nice price even if it didn’t have the conversion. Frankly incredible price as it currently sits.

Step One: Don’t buy a Macbook.

Once again, in this market, sure, nice price. Not quite so much of a home run as yesterday, but $6k sounds fair. I’m sure upkeep will be expensive, but it’s a German car.

Those open rotors still just scare the bejeezus out of me. I’d probably be willing to take one of these for a spin but I wouldn’t want to do it often.

Hm...

Toyota is definitely a better comparison and where shit really just goes off the rails. Toyota is one of the most highly regarded, successful automakers in the world, and have been for decades. Last year they were valued at around $200 billion.

FTFY

Getting followed is especially important now that Kinja is even more broken, because half the time I can’t even see the grey comments to star and bring up.

Well, no, it’s not the same. People are naturally cautious and understand the risk associated with controlling a large vehicle, particularly when they’re in the process of learning.

Because concentration of wealth is literally killing us?

1st Gear: Tesla being valued so highly might be one of the best examples of why the stock market is just entirely smoke and mirrors.

No, and it needs to be made illegal to do so. Common sense is absolutely out the window when it comes to tech bro destablizers like Tesla, and it’s clear Musk doesn’t care about the consequences of his dangerous actions.

Look, in this market any running, driving car at $2000 is a nice price.

Well it does, because Jim-Bob is going to prison then, while the untested self driving software has no additional consequences.
