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.

I meant it makes sense for the companies who run it. Not joe public.

They have the initial outlay for the vehicles, then the operating costs. But that's a fraction of what they'd pay in wages.

And I agree, it's terrible for jobs.

As for Elon, he should just stick to making rockets instead of being a Fascist.

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

The 90s were a good era for the UK

I remember the country feeling really good about itself in the late 90s

We'd got rid of the Tories, had the Good friday agreement we had Britpop, a good rave scene, loads of good films, the Premier league was taking off worldwide, people had money in their pockets. There was a general air of people being proud of what Britain was doing.

These days being proud to be British seems to involved painting roundabouts, retweeting Katie Hopkins and blaming Ahmed for everthing that's gone tits up in society.

Already 24 Waymo cars on the streets of London being tested, although manned until they've passed the testing stage.

I've started from a particular point in the video, where a guy tracking them down comes up behind one - he's a bit of a boring fella, but it shows they are being tested...

This video is better than the previous one @Archers Road , bit more informative than the nonsense of chasing a car around...

I think this is the direction of travel (see what I did there) for all cars personally.

The new Chinese EVs are almost semi autonomous anyway. Was watching a video yesterday about them, they take all of the driver assist modes like lane assist, driver awareness, collision warnings, speed limiter, automatic emergency braking etc and automate nearly all of them.

They self park too, you can get out, press the door handle and the car will just put itself into a parking spot.

I think it will only be a matter of time before cars are automated and self driving. You'll probably be able to get in, use voice commands to tell it where you want to go and it will just do it all for you.

Probs be able to link your KFC app to it too so that it will stop at a drive through en route <laugh>

In the future we won’t need cars. We won’t go anywhere. We’ll all be in cubicles wearing immersive headsets and pretending to live in virtual reality.

That sounds preferable to me, as long as all women's avatars look like Jennie in my signature here :emoticon-0110-tongu

Don't you think unemployment is high enough?
