> 250k users Very bold… How do you keep it secure with such ancient software? What happens when it goes down and you don’t have backups? I can’t imagine a service that’s both unimportant and has so many users. So many questions.

These cars would be privately owned and follow the whims of shareholders. We all know how well that goes. These issues with public transit are correctable. Stops could be added in between, infrastructure made more accessible… Handicap acces

How? They also point out that these automated cars, if they end up actually working right, make zero effort to be handicap accessible, unlike existing and currently working public transit (which also happens to be delayed and hampered by th

On Firefox iOS, it does fullscreen when long pressing the title, but then I can touch X and it goes back to how other links show up when long pressing. And then you can copy the url.
