potholes and self driving cars

[britporn_mike]

Neat little article today on the BBC.com website.

Here is a question a lot of people make money driving for firms such as Uber, with self driving cars what happens to the drivers and their income, another way automation is going to hurt peoples living wages.

"British self-driving startup Wayve has said it is confident its technology will allow autonomous vehicles to "really drive anywhere", including on the UK's sometimes pothole-blighted roads.

The firm has raised an additional $1.5bn (£1.1bn) from investors, including Microsoft and chip giant Nvidia - one of the largest ever funding rounds for a British company.

It comes as Wayve prepares to launch robotaxis in London later this year as part of a partnership Uber."

I have never had the opportunity to ride in one, either I drive or my hubby when we go out. Usually on the way home it's me since I never drink more than a glass of red wine when out. He likes a couple of drinks with dinner.

I was in SF last year for a wedding but fuck if I'll get in a car with no driver,just being a passenger scares me.
