I agree, in places where there is already extensive road infrastructure, a "public" transportation system using a fleet of autonomous vehicles is much more better use of existing resources.

A little off-topic, but I don't see why OKCupid's actions here are unethical. Their matching algorithm isn't perfect, so they shouldn't treat it as an oracle of truth. How else would they discover false negatives in thei

Fewer kids are dying now the than they did back then, so I feel saying "Generations of kids grew up that way and they all turned out fine" is misleading. http://www.hrsa.gov/healthit/images/mchb_child_mor

There are no shortcuts. The straight line connecting 2 points in 3d space is shorter than any path connecting the points that goes through a higher dimension. The same applies to 2d compared to 3d. If you have 2 points on a sheet of paper,
