I use San Francisco’s BayWheels bikeshare almost daily. I pay an annual fee of $180 (after taxes) and take about 400 rides a year. I also have a Waymo account. I ride that about 5 times a year: fancy dates in tux/gown/heels.

Noo Jork. Isn’t that how it’s pronounced?

Well, if they’re Christian fundie kid-diddling pastors, have at it.

Of course, with every solution, there arises tens or hundreds of new problems. But since a solution was found, by definition, society has improved in some way. So there is always some incremental progress. If you can’t recognize this, well I can’t help you.

Of course there will be regression. But it’s undeniable that the arc of technology is in improvements to society as a whole. Creating new technology is not random. There is a purpose behind the attempt: to solve an existing and urgent problem. By solving it, we get improvements.

Technology is built by humans to extend the capabilities that humans cannot achieve. If you look at the history of human civilization, technology has occurred everywhere and they help humans do things that is not possible without that tech. And future iterations do it faster, better, cheaper.

History is on my side my friend. Technology always exceeds human abilities. I mean, that’s almost tautological.

I have ridden in these vehicles numerous times and I have worked as an operator in these vehicles. I’m quite familiar with their capabilities. The thing is, their abilities only improve over time.

Technology always advances. Your dismissal of AV tech is no different than the dismissal 130 yrs ago for automotive tech, or 110 yrs ago for aviation tech.

Her official portrait, just like her, will hang somewhere.

Safety is first. More jobs is second. Decline in human driven vehicles is third. Environmental benefits fourth.

I’m all for autonomous vehicles. I would love to see autonomous mass transit buses. As for winter driving, future AVs (by Zoox, for example) will have all wheel independent steering and driving. A technology that can easily navigate in snow and ice, and that no human can master.

Trump should be allowed to run. What should have happened is that people should not have voted for him. Don’t excuse the stupidity of the electorate for the election of a terrible candidate. It is the civic duty of the people to vet and decide on whether to hire a candidate. That’s it.

No. That’s not a good metric.

There have been good politicians who have been convicted of various crimes. Eugene Debs, for one.

Some convicts may actually be great political leaders someday.

The person’s character, as affected by the conviction, matters more.

Shouldn’t they have been in Uvalde or someplace like that?
