hiring taxi drivers are relatively cheap too, but all big tech companies are investing on self driving cars. and because of all the investments and research we know we will have a working model soon. also investment reduce the cost. I can argue that cheaper and better food is even more important for the society and human race than autonomous cars, but because it is not sexy enough no one really spent money on it!
- petra 10y agoIt may be that innovations that enable shipping of agricultural products from countries with cheap labor will be cheaper than robots.
- tobltobs 10y agoIs all this investment in self driving cars done to replace taxi drivers? Will food get cheaper if picked by robots? And even if, what the use of it if nobody can pay the cheaper prices anymore, because they don't have work anymore, because their work is done by robots? Do you really think big money does decide by sexiness of the product where to invest? Like some JS Hippster selects a framework?
- mars4rp 10y agoyes absolutely I believe that is how investments get decided on big corporations. think about it, the only goal of any CEO is to drive the stock price up. investing on sexy projects create hype and drives the stock prices up, the more you get media coverage about your new project and more people here about it, there going to be more investors and stock prices are going higher !
- kmicklas 10y ago> because of all the investments and research we know we will have a working model soon This definitely does not follow.
