This is the type of comment that makes you look either like a privileged elite that is part of Big Tech, or just a clueless moron whose day at the barrel is yet to come. Do you really need a list of ways how Big Tech has harmed society? I

Nice rhetorical trick. It's not a matter of "more perfect". The bad outweighs the good, plain and simple, and only those who are extremely naive or stand to gain from it refuse to acknowledge it.

Nice strawman. I am not saying to get rid of cars altogether. I am saying that it would be better (and cheaper) for everyone if we took all those resources being out into "autonomous vehicles" and developed public transit first. R

Vans to complement buses are definitely a thing in São Paulo, and the cost of labor is not a limiting factor.

Way to miss the point. Yes, it is known that the "NASA space pen" was not really funded by NASA, but but its development still took millions of dollars in R&D. > Is there a single developed economy that doesn't make si

The whole thing with self-driving cars is that it feels like the story of NASA's space pen. All this money being poured into a technology that would not be needed if the richest country in the world had the common sense of simply getti

This is why I've written severe poisoning. It was never a healthy thing to do, but it took a case of "shit, people are actually going blind because of this" for it to stop.

When Ethanol started being used as car fuel in Brazil (in the 70's), there were not life-threatening additives on it, so of course some people would use it to mix with drinks. The practice only stopped in the late 80's when there

To repeat the example a gave in a sibling thread: you can not go to a dating site filing GDPR requests to find out who liked/disliked you. That would be a violation of their privacy.
