Taxi Driver Online

What's the rush for self driving cars, they'll still need a driver to be in control just in case, I reckon by far the biggest majority of car drivers like driving so what's their fechin rush to put vehicles on the road that will end up putting tax paying professional drivers on the dole and creating a society of Robotic cars and other Robotic machines that shall be producing goods and services for the Billions of unemployed people who'll won't be able to afford them....Have they really thought the social aspect and impact of full automisation through!!!

Big business and Capitalist believers are not bothered about the workers only about themselves maintaining their living standards at the expense of everyone else.

Firstly,
I don't agree with self driving cars.
For them to work properly it would require ALL vehicles using the roads to be self drive, not just some of them.
The advantages from a utopian point of view could be that it would stop all accidents and would render many crimes committed using cars or other vehicles impossible to committ due to the safety features involved. You wouldn't get many police chases if the cars can't be driven in a wreckless manner. Speeding would be a thing of the past.
Of course it would not be possible for bikes and motorbikes to be driverless so they would all have to come off the roads as well as horses. So sime good could come of it.

It'll be a sad day if the joys of driving are lost forever to the young and old alike if their freedom to drive for pleasure were to be denied to them under a dystopian system where everything is grey and your life so regimented by the state or large corporations to the point where have nothing to live for, No Work, No Pleasure, no point.....It is the stuff of Nightmares and it would seem that through a government obsession for robotic technology mission creep that they are quite happy to take us there in order to make an ever bigger population easier to control and manipulate.

I think we have enjoyed the best of times and future generations will not.

1984 anyone?

1984 was not the best year for me. Now 1976 was a cracking year for me

On strike both these years,

We had a one day strike when I was at British Leyland. Never again, it cost me a fortune in lost golf balls.

Back to the thread’s topic.

I note that some good people on YouTube have been filming the area where the incident happened at the time of day it happened, and guess what their videos are a lot brighter and clearer than the Uber video.

Surely Uber wouldn’t doctor their video would they?
