Do you guys hang out in the makeup department and talk about your disineterest in lipstick? Why is every thread on this subject loaded with peanut gallery comments from people who aren't interested in autonomous cars. If you don't like them don't use them. They still stand to address the needs of 10s of millions of commuters in America, and far more worldwide. It's a huge addressable market.
- dsfyu404ed 10y agoThe lipstick proponents don't try to talk it up to people who don't need and want it.
- jessaustin 10y agoApparently you haven't read the many lipstick threads here on HN...
- golergka 10y agoPeople who left the comments above in this thread have said nothing about their personal tastes and preferences.
- probably_wrong 10y agoI think it's not disinterest, but more of a reality check. While we all agree that self-driving cars will be a game changer, some of us think that it can be easily blown out of proportions. "The needs of 10s of millions of commuters in America" could have been addressed with public transport years ago. The fact that they weren't should tell us that there's more to it than whether someone drives the car or not.
- wcummings 10y agoBasically this, combined with the fact that people who dislike public transit for cultural reasons (see also: hate the poor) point to SDC's as a panacea for all our transportation problems. There was literally a post in one of these threads saying we should "screen" people so undesirables couldn't use public transit so it would be more attractive to yuppy scumbags.
