- kumarvvr 7y agoAll this innovation and we have come to the point where cars cruising waiting for summons is a better solution than just parking.
- xvedejas 7y agoThis sounds like quite the opposite of the future I (optimistically) think we're moving towards: reclaiming our streets for pedestrians and cyclists.
- numpad0 7y agoSo tax unoccupied driving.
- mayniac 7y agoHow do you do this without uncomfortable levels of government surveillance?
- thomasahle 7y agoThe car could have a "unoccupied miles driven counter" that you reported manually or automatically once in a while. Much like how you report your electricity usage to the power company.
- numpad0 7y agoIn 2045: “What do you mean you are going to DMV? You work there? WAIT. Are you still hand-steering that 2025 Prius!? And you still haven’t fixed that yanked off telematics!?”
- spacehunt 7y agoThis happens in Hong Kong already, where renting a parking spot is more expensive than hiring a part-time driver.
