WTF?

Is that what I said? I said rather live like a cave man than have robots take care of me, I didn't say I wanted to live like a cave man. It was a question of choosing between alternatives, neither of which are a question at this point.

Seriously, are you trolling or just incapable of grasping the difference? :thinking::mad:

ok, don't go live like a caveman :huh:

It's been coming for years. I'm kind of surprised it's taken so long. There is also the auto insurance industry who will be affected.

It always takes ages.

The ideas are easy, and aren't indicative short of massive paradigm shifts, and prototypes/heavily controlled demonstrations aren't much better either. It's R&D, infrastructure and logistics that are the best measures of actual technological advancement, and we are still quite a bit off autonomous vehicles. There's a massive amount of work to do, and no instant switch over. Electric cars are further along but still struggling.

Plus taxi cabs are the more extreme case. A lot of goods might benefit from a human escort and management, but Uber won't care and can do it on mass more easily.
