As someone who doesn't live in silicon valley or in any major cities, it's always strange to see HN users talk about these companies as though they already have widespread recognition. I've never seen a car once in my life, and if I did I would probably be fairly cautious around it. I imagine a large portion of Americans would feel similarly.

- Semaphor 3y agoYeah, I read about that. In the comments here. But they aren’t in Germany, and I don’t expect them to arrive here for quite some time. We are very technology-conservative.
