The US economy doesn't produce enough IT workers because Americans want better employment prospects than the industry is currently providing. No way my kids are going into anything to do with tech.
They are doing worse. Do I have to remind you that a google car just drove into a bus because there was a sandbag in the road? That a driver was decapitated because an automated car thought a trailor was a bridge? People have an intuition that prevents accidents that thousands of samples a second isn't going to solve. Is an automated car going to look down my street to see if there are any garage doors open so it knows there might be kids to run over? Because I do every time I leave my house. My driving record has been perfect for years, so far self driving cars aren't beating that.
Who is starving? Our economy hasn't fully transitioned yet. When people can't find jobs, they'll go on social services, then there will be too many people on social services and they'll fail. You know there are people starving on the streets in Africa and India right? That's where we're headed.
Actually I think it's more accurate to say "I can't be price competitive because I must live in the American economy". My generation didn't make things expensive here, that was done before me. We're just the unlucky bastards that are alive post-globalization and have to live with first world prices and third world wages.
Well no one knows what Trump will do.. to me the thing that makes Hillary the right candidate is that it is plainly obvious Trump doesn't stand by anything he says. She may not be a good candidate, but at least her presidency will look something like her campaign. Trump will just do what he fancies on any given day.
It all depends on what way of life the American government wants for its people. If you want an 'American' way of life that is somewhat better for Americans than everywhere else then you need to isolate to an American only market. I thought America prided itself on having a generally wealthy and peaceful population but apparently that part was for sale. Even worse, the way they opened up the global market it's not bad for everyone, just the poor and middle class.
The thing is, anyone's skills are only special if the government protects that interest in the skill. Today plumbing qualifies as a special skill by your standards, but if the government were to tell all plumbing companies that they could go to a website and find India plumbers that would work for low wages.. guess what plumbing isn't special any more. All that has happened is that the US government has decided that the US standard of living isn't important any more and they are willing to sacrifice it so corporations will do well, the skill itself has not changed.
Autopilot was never supposed to be a selling feature of the car. How can something in beta mode be a selling feature of a car? Maybe he likes the performance and will never use Autopilot again.
Come up with another time. It has to be some time after globalism, because before globalism companies couldn't run offshore. They had to go to the domestic buggy whip makers to put the parts into their cars.
This is the kind of company that you will always get in the absence of regulations. No company is obligated to have a conscience unless it is illegal not to.
Well, if self driving actually happens, there are 3 million truck drivers, 300K taxi drivers, and 300K uber drivers out of work right there. If automated fast food happens, at 282K restaurants in the US that's around 5.6 million saving for college age kids that will be out of work. 9.2 million people out of work with just technology people think will come in the next five years. Add in the stuff that people are talking about like office assistants.. It could be bad.
You people through those stats around fairly freely with no proof that automated vehicles will ever get the adoption they need for such improvements. In the mean time you are suggesting that people should overlook the damage done by these companies today. That's cult-like philosophy.
If I have a self driving car it has got to be waiting for me in the driveway. I don't want to wait for a driving service now, I don't want to wait for it then.
So you're suggesting we should start doing less for our children than the previous generation did for us? That we should not build on the advantages that our parents have afforded us? What an isolated little bubble you must live in.
Uber is a sociopathic corporation. They probably plan for deaths and will consider the victim's families fortunate to get the $80K payoff of whatever they become responsible for.

So that tells me that your company doesn't make enough money to support the workers that it needs. Find new streams in income or fail.

How is our lifestyle global? So maybe we have to give up smartphones then, or they become affordable for less people. It's better then starving.

It be fair, it's not ALL Americans, it's just the poor and middle classes.

Driving a car is really way more complicated in terms of obstacles you need to avoid from second to second.

Automated driving and restaurants alone will take away 9.2M jobs, and that has a decent chance of happening with 5 years.
..and more people were required for manufacturing, assembly, maintenance, sales, etc etc etc.

Yes but then they needed mechanics of all sorts. All local jobs.
Until people think of taking the whole box.

Automation has augmented humans since the industrial revolution but it has never before replaced humans.
