Everyone should quit now and stop bringing in funds to Uber. They want to kill all your jobs.

Bye.

Not to get too far off track here but I'll go on a bit of a tangent on self-driving cars:

Scenario: You're doing 45 on a two lane country road. A deer jumps out. Within fractions of a second, you know there's an oncoming car in the other lane and trees to the right.

Your choices are:

A: Swerve into the left lane and get hit head on.
B: Hit the deer
C: Yank the wheel to the right and hit the tree.

.....what's the self-driving car going to do?

Brake faster than a human possibly can. In milliseconds it will determine the best course of action.

Your 60 year old retiree driver, in a car that barely fits Uber's 10 year max, with brakes that should have been replaced 10,000 miles ago, will freak out and do A or C. When B, with hard braking included, is the obvious correct answer.

It's cool stuff, but you can always have an initial example of cool stuff that is still not economically viable yet. You'll know it's viable when it starts popping up everywhere.

Agree with both of your posts. Technology will catch up.

Given the number of 60 somethings, and above, still driving, I wonder which is more dangerous.
