I wonder how long it will be before people realise they can shoot down delivery drones. Prize every time. Everyone's a winner.

"with some residents rendering them immobile by putting orange cones on the cars’ hoods in protest. "

Could someone explain this? How does an orange cone on the hood immobilize these things?

The number 1 source of organ doners? Car accidents.

Cars are an environmental, health and time wasting nightmare. The move away from cars is a must. But as a last mile, ride share option. Self driving cars are absolutely going to play a part.

We have all dealt with dickhead taxi drivers so the sooner that industry gets replaced the better. In terms of cycling on the road and walking next to the road, self driving cars will be a lot safer than people.

It's not there yet. But this future is better than the one we are in now and we should be all for that.

Fuck driving and fuck cars (most of the time)
