> How is this helping anyone? One could argue it's utilizing a set of free people to create a Chaos Monkey-esque environment to train cars. This increases resilience and speeds up the timeline for driverless cars. Which of course decreases alcohol-related fatalities. It's that last part that is tough to argue against. Of course, there is the stress of creating an identity politics cultural clash in a city of millions. These are people who we now face on an incredible divide. It takes work, and it costs stress, to bridge that. Over two decades ago, after the first dot-com crash, I remember one of the last statements from a SF resident before I left. That it was my fault, or the people like me, that the city ended up the way it did. That stung. A lot. But, you cant argue we're not saving lives from drunk drivers. That's something that will help on both coasts and the middle.
