That's just it. There is the common 80-20 rule.. 80% is easy, 20% is a real bitch. For a spreadsheet application, maybe you don't need all of that last 20% for it to be perfect. For automated heavy machinery cruising around at high speed in public with manual cars and people and animals; you do.
You still can't take a person's livelihood and throw it in the dumpster. They trusted their jurisdiction to uphold the laws. It's not like they were participating in a known risky venture like investing. How would you feel if Uber decided to make your house a parking lot and the city gave them approval to bulldoze it without any compensation for you?
I forgot my point, automated driving is simply too far away for Uber to consider as a business model right now, so they had better get their act in gear and get profitable without it. Also, six taxi drivers have already committed suicide as their medallions become worthless, other cities are using taxpayer money to compensate taxi drivers. Huge messes to figure out.
Whether or not anyone can get self driving to work, the logistical problems are the real killer. Who is responsible if the car makes a mistake? Not the owner, because they aren't controlling it. Who will insurance companies charge for liability insurance? When there is a construction site, who pays for the time to set it up so that autonomous cars can navigate it? I hope not tax payers. Who is responsible if they make a mistake? How do you stop people from simply walking in front of them whenever they want, knowing they will stop? Lots of things to figure out.
Wouldn't a maximum speed of 25MPH qualify for an impeding traffic offense on many routes? Doesn't seem right that a car wouldn't be expected to drive the speed limit. What is the recourse for drivers who are held up behind one of these? Are they as narrow as a bicycle so people can drive around them? I see a lot of road rage coming.
For anyone still here, Google on the Economists' magazine recent ranking of 'livable' cities in the world. Canada has three of the top 10. Says something for socialized democracy.
You are insinuating that the property tax has come out against the value of the building and that's how they arrive at $200 but that's not how it works.

It's unrealistic to expect death-free cars.
So are investors calculating the price of liability for not only deaths, but many fender-benders a day into their risk analysis?
As a tax payer I'm afraid I must insist that I know how it is going to work before hand, before cities are forced to close these gaps with my money.
So you're proposing a subway that comes through my basement, even though I live 15 mins away from the nearest city?

Ten times more dangerous and complicated than flight, with 2% of the regulation and oversight, if that.

Because they watch too many movies.

As long as people 'invest' their money willingly and executives get rich, capitalism doesn't see a problem with it.
Ok but you also have to drive respectfully. If you are holding people up, don't suddenly get surprised when there are road rage incidents.
Many people who apply for jobs never hear back and this has been going on for years. I won't shed a tear for them now that it's going both ways.
I thought Trump was going to fix this. It was his one redeeming quality for me.
I think the outfield would have to be a lot bigger for robotic baseball cannon batters.
Sure, technology companies ALWAYS pass on the savings when tech prices fall, says the average Slashdot reader.

All the wars in the east over Western oil rights.
Ok, so I guess you have been happy with every president ever then.
It doesn't click inside the body like the one in the note does? Apple loves to encourage their users to lost attachments, don't they?
Isn't the whole point of America to reward the rich and punish the poor anyway?
Except this isn't for Apple to negotiate, the market value is the market value.
In fact, if the building is truly worth $200 then the property tax will only be on $200.

Wow, you really think a government official gives a flying fuck what the government makes? No wonder America is so messed up.
