Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

Y'all want to laugh but you lack the larger picture.
These folks will be on demand if a car gets stuck or lost. You'll have 1 person to 10 cabs and that number will go up as they collect data and iterate.
Your hated over this dude has really blinded many of you. You can be pissed but this is going to mostly replace human cab drivers in 15 years.
AI isn't going to immediately replace anyone. It will reduce demand over decades.
Yeah, it's kinda sad actually. It's also nothing different to what Waymo etc are doing, but whatevs.
The cab drivers deserve it IMO. I've never seen a more shitty and less accountable role/job then them. They deserved Uber.
The Fraternal Order of Police would like a word.
Never had a bad Uber drive.
I've had countless terrifying cab rides.
Oh ....
