Traffic jams are caused by volume. If fewer cars pass per minute, due to driverless cars obeying the speed limit traffic will be worse. What are you citing?

Industry standard is to drive 10mph over the speed limit so unless self-driving cars are allowed to break the law they may make traffic even worse. Maybe they would be good for drunk drivers and emergencies but I can barely stand letting my

Having different laws in every state is exactly why most of the world can't watch Netflix. The EU is trying to consolidate things which gives incentives to negotiate contracts. The last thing the EU needs is more Balkanization as companies

Maybe you misunderstood. The current model will die, like everything.

Underestimate Apple at your peril, as has been amply demonstrated.

Exactly. If your time has no value then all is free. Most people value their time, the system does not have to be perfect. People who claim there should be no copyright because the future is inevitable probably still go to the doctor.

This could be a game changer for web payments and the built-in A/B testing sounds cool but I couldn't find any details in the docs.

I would be absolutely shocked if we didn't know the whole story in two weeks. Apple loves their schedules.

We have structural unemployment that is only going to get worse so something will have to change but idle hands being the devil's workshop I think some minimum of productive output will have to be required if only for their own sake. Volunt
