   Another interesting thing to do is having a high quality medical expert system(Watson), running outside the u.s.(say africa[1]) with people who we're taught how to use it(even doctors), with access to video communication with the patie

    According to a simulation in[1], If employed at scale, such system would have a mean order time of 5 minutes,a mean wait time of half a minute and a mean ride time of 1.5x of a direct trip. [1] http://www.floating-content.net&#x2F

    I think in this service you order a short time(10 minutes) in advance, and you get optimized routes. That wasn't there before i believe.

    I believe jitneys are different: they have a fixed route. This , by gathering pickup and drop-off points optimizes routes and passengers. The end result is much shorter trips.

    If this will be deployed in UBER's model, i.e. freelanced drivers of vans, this could scale very rapidly very fast.

    The way to reduce the complexity of the hardware is mostly by using good libraries like arduino or mbed(or maybe goot rtos's with plenty of drivers, if there's such a thing). Do you use them ? And as my example vs the OP's ar

    I think the future of this hardware revolution will be python on a microcontroller.It could solve the complexity this article describes while keeping prices realistic for a product: Micropython[1] is being in development right now,Currently
