Autonomous cars solve transportation problems. Autonomous cars improve safety and saves lives. Drivers don't get tired, and drunk people don't control them. Autonomous cars increases accessibility and reduces the cost of transportation; a fleet of them can patrol the city 24/7, servicing people who would otherwise be ripped off by taxis/uber or stranded because local transportation means stop late at night (subways, buses, trains).
- jelliclesfarm 10y agoBut it's human labour in the hot sun that brings food to our table. Isn't it important to figure how to move beyond manual labour when we have tech available for creating something we need for our sustenance? We can survive without cars..self driving or not..but not without food. Which deserves a tech revolution? It's not a competition..why not both? Even if we don't have to 'break our backs' ourselves..in say..America and our vegetables come from Mexico or Guatemala or Honduras or wherever its cheap so it's plentiful for us..people are still working hard in those countries? Shouldn't this be an universally urgent issue to resolve? People die of hunger in poor countries. We send $ or clothes or someone sends aid etc..but if they are able to find a way to eat..to exploit and preserve and regenerate natural resources, they don't need any help at all, no? I would like to think that tech has a reach beyond borders and solves problems that are crippling. I don't think I am wrong in that expectation.
