Everything will be driverless in the future. I predict the complete death of any chauffer driven vehicle within 10 years. The taxi industry as it stands is dead in the water, just like video hire shops.

Cabs will become driverless as well (if the technology is deemed safe for public transport which I doubt.) Not everyone will be able to afford a driverless car, and there will be Fleets (Cabs operating under Government regulation) they can access.

Why would anybody need to use a driver-less "cab"? (if/when they become "available")

What would all the taxi drivers do for a crust? Would the Cops still Breathalyze those who don't have a driver-less car?

If/when driver-less cars are available there will undoubtedly be other forms of "transport" that the common person CAN afford.

Taxi drivers will still be out of pocket and will need to find alternative employment.

So, do you have any problem with Item 3, Effendi?

I sure do Aussie. Whether it is a number 1, 2 or 3, you should find a public toilet instead.

Item 3.

Commercial grade, tamper proof GPS Units must be fixed to all personalised transport vehicles and be remotely accessable to authorised parties.

On my Home computer, I can see where my Cab is at all times, what speed it is doing etc etc. This is a further safety tool for drivers and passengers.

Do you NOT realise that when DRIVER LESS cars are introduced, what YOU are proposing will be ANCIENT technology?

I suggest you give up before you make an absolute idiot of yourself.

How about you express your problems, then. Let's see them, Effendi.

It's pretty simple Aussie. Don't crap in the street.

Driverless cars will fix all your problems before you get round to getting all parties to agree to something you know they won't agree to.

But.....it is beneficial to know that this Forum's Owner, and political activist, has no problem with Items 1, 2 and 3. Thanks for that. Item 4 tomorrow.

When that day comes, maybe I'll launch a retro cab company. Mid journey a scent unit in the cab will spray a burst of eau de Indian, a heady mixture of cumin and stale sweat which will trigger the olfactory system to conjure up memories of cab rides past.

Yes, Effendi, none of the Items so far affect fares in Cabs. I said so, maybe you missed me doing that. Oh, greater minds than mine have 'thought this through' Effendi.
