Uber Scaling Up Its Data Center Infrastructure (datacenterfrontier.com)

That's translating into big business for data center providers, as evidenced by a major data center expansion by Uber, which needs more storage and compute power to support its global data platform. Uber drivers' mobile phones send location updates every 4 seconds, which is why the design goal for Uber's geospatial index is to handle a million writes per second. It's a reminder that as our cars become mini data centers, the data isn't staying onboard, but will also be offloaded to the data centers of automakers and software companies.
It's you and every other person that thinks things should just stay the same as they were when you were in the prime of your life.
Come to think of it, there's probably millions of you guys, but fortunately you're all more than halfway done with your lifespan.
I've learned that they're worthless, so I don't read AC comments anymore.
