> I always felt SDC is the death of Uber.
But aren't SDCs currently something veeery remote (e.g. even Tesla cannot currently drive autonomously even on technically "simple streets" like highways) and especially only as long as no active offensive social behaviours start to emerge (e.g. gang menbers standing in the middle of the street to stop a SDC to rob/kidnap the occupant and/or destroy the car etc...)?
- jboy55 8y agoI agree its very far away, except for interstate driving. I can see an SDC-only lane, with a faster top speed. Residential, taxi-cab driving is so far away. Hey, if I step in front of this car, I don't get to sue a fairly poor driver, I get to sue a mega-corp for a tonne of money cause the algorithm should have stopped.

Hat off :)
