Pretty soon the cars will drive themselves, so Uber just needs to fight this out until then.
cities should have taken the many many many complaints of discrimination from cab riders more seriously.I feel like ridesharing is here to stay so cities should just integrate it into their infrastructure rather than forcing cabs onto people.
Oh yes.cities should have taken the many many many complaints of discrimination from cab riders more seriously.
It does, and yet, they have been doing it incessantly since their inception. Time will tell who that's invested into the self driving future will actually make it.Not so sure about "soon", also pissing off the systems that you're going to need approval from to be driverless seems pretty moronic.
Generally speaking most food delivery companies have invested heavily into the paradigm that you're supposed to meet them outside/downstairs, although I think Uber Eats generally is one of the ones that doesn't. I don't actually use any of Uber's services. With Postmates, at least, they pretty heavily suggest meeting the driver outside.Time will tell if people will trust self driving tech to at the very least not kill them, but also figure out weird corner cases that happen with pickups/dropoffs.
Also is a self-driving car gonna walk the Uber Eats deliveries up those apartments and office buildings?
I think you'll be surprised then. 30-50 years is off by an order of magnitude.More like 30-50 years. Driverless AI has a long, looooong way to go, and getting them legally on the road in significant numbers is even further out. And that's not even factoring in the morality and ethics questions of how the AIs are programmed to manage risk and fatalities. I will be mildly surprised if there are a significant number of driverless cars on the road regularly in my lifetime.

Yes, I mean people want the convenience of the app and the drivers appreciate the gig even if the gig economy can go die in a fire. Convert the taxi industry into a municipal ridesharing industry and turn the drivers into de-facto federal workers, imo.It's here to stay because a company is losing billions of dollars a quarter by offering rides at a huge loss. They have the scum of the taxi business with extra exploitation of workers.
Taxis suck too, but competing against a company that offers a service for less than the service costs is.. difficult
