#987I don't understand how these driverless cars don't have some sort of override for public safety officials to move them in an emergency. It seems like that would go a long way to reducing concern? Or is this just rabblerousing?

SF anti-tech “activists.” I was going to post a sarcastic description, but I’ll just say they tend to have a lot of student debt and are frequently devoted Marxists. They also tend to sincerely believe that if tech imploded, the homeless would all suddenly be able to afford apartments.
It's always funny to see people so openly display their lack of effort in understanding the arguments of the people they're supposedly opposed to. The lack of self-awareness is disappointing but not surprising considering the way it is expressed.
I’m just describing the arguments I’ve heard straight out of people’s mouths. Their arguments come from a place of deep, deep passion, but they lack no understanding of economics nor apparently human behavior. They want to buy into an easy story that a certain group is the source of all ills. In that way they are just like the radicals on the other side who are their sworn enemies.

Wouldn’t get your hopes up on it being 90% cheaper—typically Waymo cost the same or slightly more than Uber for me. Obviously the economics change as time goes on but I doubt they will make it that much cheaper.
> but I doubt they will make it that much cheaper. All other tech has gotten 10x cheaper across 10 years. No reason to doubt robotaxi fleets won’t as well.
Without the need of a driver, cars will increasingly be offered as a rental service rather than an ownership object. In a good month, the only expenses I pay for my car is gas, which is 150-200 USD. Do you think driverless car services will somehow be immune to the pressures every other rentier model (actual rent, SaaS, Netflix, etc etc etc) succumbs to?
