Agree. I feel like the cost of Ubers need to go down a bit further to make cars go for good. Stuff like grocery shopping, quick errands, etc would add up quickly with $10 for each trip (considering the minimum $5 fare, let alone higher costs)
- asabjorn 11y agoIf you consider the cost of a car loan, insurance, gas and car maintenance your car might not look as cheap anymore. As a personal anecdote I now only drive once every two weeks here in SF, mostly for weekend trips, and my car is such an expensive luxury that if I didn't already own it from the days I drove more I would probably just always zipcar or use Uber.
- Animats 11y agoYes, if only serfs weren't so expensive.
- Spooky23 11y agoGreat business idea -- Perhaps we could have refugees drive us around for a beer and Taco Bell gift cards!
- seanmcdirmid 11y agoSelf driving serfs are around the corner. It's not slavery if it's not human, right?
- johansch 11y agoWhat will they call that variety of Uber? UberAuto? UberMatic? UberBot?
- zo1 11y agoWell, if the prevailing anti-progress narrative is to be believed and expanded to even higher cliche-levels: Yes, it is slavery because only the rich will own the self-driving serfs and the slaves will have to pay for it anyways.
- seanmcdirmid 11y agoSelf driving cars will make a big splash in the car for hire industry first. Then it just leads to cheaper taxis, uber so and deliveries.
