Looks like Aussie wants to be a futurist and tell us about emerging tech trends.

Will he be giving a talk at the festival of retarded idea?

Of course - there's no mention of the actual reason for the crash

Quote:
The accident occurred when the driver of a second vehicle "failed to yield" to the Uber vehicle while making a turn, said Josie Montenegro, a spokeswoman for the Tempe Police Department.


In any case the same thing happened after a Tesla on autopilot was involved in a fatal crash in the US - all the dinosaurs and luddites got on the internet to crow about it and predict that driverless was a dead end.

...until the DoT in the US analysed the data from Telsa's entire fleet, and concluded that autopilot actually made cars 40% safer

bgr.com/2017/01/19/tesla-autopilot-crash-safety-statistics-report-nhtsa/

And that's not even full autonomous driving. If you think the same governments that crow over a 5% reduction in road deaths will sit by and let an opportunity like that pass them by - you're delusional.

Not a great time to be an incumbent in the taxi industry - that's for sure

Driverless cars are the future, for sure. Faster, smoother travel.

But need to separate cars from pedestrians.

Totally agree Aussie...Uber is a freaking joke. Hannibal Lecter could be picking you up. Just remember that next time you want to be lousy and save ten bucks

Any bastard can be a Uber driver and the runs are already on the board with sexual assaults etc. Stand by for Murders

Is ten bucks worth your life? Uber is for dickheads

Do you see Cabbies offering crap deals like that, cods.  Their pricing is already screwing their drivers so one of two things is happening:

1.  Uber is screwing the drivers harder, or and far more likely....

2.  Uber is spending capital (like it does to keep going all over the Planet.....way more than $B1.5 to date) subsidising the drivers.

Uber be ferked, I tells ya.

And here is confirmation of what I have been saying for quite a while.  Uber be ferked and it can only make money if it does not have those pesky driver 'partners' it has sucked in so far.

Link.

Quote:
"To hinder Uber's continued progress in its independent development of an in-house lidar that is fundamentally different than Waymo's, when Uber has not used any of Waymo's trade secrets, would impede Uber's efforts to remain a viable business, stifle the talent and ingenuity that are the primary drivers of this emerging industry, and risk delaying the implementation of technology that could prevent car accidents," Uber said (emphasis ours).

Of course, many people question whether a company that's believed to be losing billions of dollars a year is a "viable" business to begin with. The six-year-old company hasn't yet figured out how to make humans in the drivers seat work as a profitable business, and it's also tackling everything from food delivery to vertical take off planes.


It is just a question of time and how much damage it does before it totally collapses.

Uber be ferked, I tells ya!
