Waymo taxis' coming to London by the end of the year. More tech taking jobs.
I saw these in San Francisco when I was out there last. Very peculiar seeing driverless cars on the streets.
In some respects it makes a lot of sense to have all of this automated, but like you say, it's another raft of jobs that will be replaced.
No mate, it makes no sense. We didn't ask for it, we don't need it, and once again it's technology being forced on us. Who actually benefits from this?
Certainly not all the driver loss of jobs, ****ing dole queue is increasing, state spending is struggling to prop it all up, and here we are putting thousands of drivers eventually out of work.
How does this benefit the customer, unless you are an unsociable **** and just want to chat to a ****ing bot. They will probably do it cheap to start with, but a London cabbie earns anything between £35k - £50k a year.
But the only profit in this will go to the person running it, not to the likes of any one actually working.
I really don't get why we are accepting this bolloxs, you of all people should be up in arms about it, the amount of times you moan your bolloxs off about people like Elon.
I tell you what if they want to run this ****, tax them so it pays for the people they've made unemployed.
So £35k - £50k tax a year on top of any tax for every individual they would have had to pay normally (so for every car they run), to pay for the benefits that people will need to claim and see if they think it's a great idea then.
They’ll sack it off once Deliveroo drivers on electric bikes start crashing into them. No Musk tech in the world is predicting what those ****s are doing. Plus we’ll have gangs of kids smashing them up at red lights. Wouldn’t worry about it.
Thats a current normal Thursday night in Liverpool!
In any case, Elon has predicted all this. Reckons 75% of the country will be not working and living on benefits by 2040.
Not sure how that will work unless the rich corporations are taxed out the arse for all this automation, as brb said.
And even then, what then, we all just sit at home in our string vests all day drinking Stella Artois on our porch and shouting out incomprehensible slurs to passers by? Cos we already lived through that, it was called the late 70's/ early 80's.
Oh yeah I didn't think of that.
The Bladerunners attacking Waymo Cabs, will make some good Youtube viewing. Matt Houston come on down.

I'd apply additional tax to them for the equivalent of what a cab driver would of earned on a 12 hour shift. So if the car runs 24hrs that's x2 the costs. If they really want this tech, then pay for the people you are putting on the dole queue. The savings will come from less accidents, as they claim, which will also affect insurance jobs.Thats a current normal Thursday night in Liverpool!

I miss the 90's, it had the nice cultural values of the 80's, yet somewhat more of the technological advancements we had in the 00's.
It was a nice bridge.
We had playstations and early internet. Yet we could still go out and safely play in the streets all night without fear of being bummed or stabbed by thugs. and people werent glued to phones and social media 24/7

Not even those knobheads. They’ve done trials of driverless Deliveroo and the little robots just get the **** kicked out of them by random yoof. We’re going to have people trying to get hit by these things for a compo claim. Cyclists will smash into the side of them because Bill the accountant thinks he’s Bradley Wiggins at the weekend. They’ve not thought this through at all.Oh yeah I didn't think of that.

Some of us can still go out at night without fear of being bummed. Unless we’re secretly wanting to be bummed that is.
Not sure we want to hear what you get up to on a Saturday evening!
He likes to get bummed by both white and black menNot sure we want to hear what you get up to on a Saturday evening!
Not sure if at the same time or not, he didn’t clarify
I’m not making that up it’s practically a quote @Star of David Bardsley
