I dont get why anyone cheers shit like this. It just takes jobs away from more people. You will just get more homeless and drug addicted people. And more rich techies. And it will make no difference to the rider - they get where they need to be either way. It's just another bit wealth transfer from poor to rich. Yet this is cheered.

I agree, we should go back to have women and children working 14 hours a day at the loom spinning cloth, I can't believe we automated away those jobs

Your clothes are still mainly made by women and children, working 14 hours a day. They just don't live in the US anymore...

Before Uber taxis were basically unaffordable for me. You had to call them and wait in queue till somebody send you one. Check if they aren't cheating etc. I think now much more people are using them due to convenience. Robotaxis can possibly expand market similar how Uber have done it.

I love coming to HackerNews to see exactly this type of salt.

"Guys it's the future! Self-driving cars actually exist!"

"Fuck you, here's why this is awful"
