  • I’d argue against that.

    The concept of robot taxi sounds nice, but it devolves into an unsustainable mess. Ride sharing isn’t simple, especially when we talk about uncertain way points. Meaningfully matching cases where people can share a robot car with completely random drop off is a logistical nightmare. I used to work at a Ride hailing company as an analyst, and people being unhappy with the duration of the shared ride was the biggest issue for that category (removing for generic cases like payment issues).

    Additionally, I’m sure it’s going to be a safety factor. I’m unlikely to get into a car with a random stranger when there’s literally no one else in the car. Miss me with trusting some corporate with safety in such cases.










  • My friend, jobs like elementary school teacher don’t pay enough to return the interest loans, and that’s only exaggerated with the high inflation.

    Entry level jobs, which are supposed to be easier are simply not paying enough to make ends meet. And that’s not a problem all individuals can solve. This requires regulatory work

    Let’s follow your train of thought here.

    Everyone makes the “smart” choice of looking into their career, and determine it based on the pay scale.

    1. Now we have a dearth of people doing the jobs with low pay, but still crucial to our society.

    2. Do you think there exists a demand for everyone to enter into the higher paying work force?
