- swalsh 11y agoOne would hope that in a world where automated cars and advanced AI make unskilled employment especially difficult, unemployment wouldn't be a terrible thing.

Lord knows it has been telegraphed enough. Doesn't necessarily mean there's an obvious solution for employing those people in the future, but I just hope they are all informed about the fact that Uber's future is basically dependent on eliminating all of their human drivers from the cost equation.
