Truck drivers will still be needed for the last mile delivery. I don't think shippers will come up with a robot nimble and clever enough to deliver appliances and fitness equipment into homes (and unpack and install them when contracted to).
That person doesn't need to be a driver, and he doesn't even need to be on the truck. As long as he arrives at the customer's home within a minute or so of when the truck does, it's all the same to the customer.
If I owned a robotic car, I don't expect parking to be an issue at all. Parking is an issue because we don't want to walk a couple of miles from a parking spot to our destination. If the car can go find a place to wait on its own, even going all the way home if necessary, the whole problem goes away.
Neither addresses the problem which is there are people out there, for whatever reason, that are willing to kill.
I reject your claim that the NRA doesn't address this problem. Arming yourself is the best way to have a fighting chance against anyone who's trying to kill you, and the NRA has made that point countless times.
And I hope it happens sooner, rather than later. Hollywood "studios" are basically VC outfits these days, with little to no interest in entertainment or quality. That's why they keep shitting out remakes and sequels and casting celebs who can't fucking act.
3) Apple litigates the issue in the European courts, proves their case, and the apparatchik who pulled the $14 billion figure out of her ass has to admit that she just pulled it out of her ass.
I'm expecting that whoever does this investigation is going to act in the shareholders' best interest, which among other things means not exposing the company to massive liabilities in court. If the investigation supports the allegations, then those responsible are going to get canned.
I guess that since you know someone who's been harassed, no investigation is necessary from now on, and we can just go with a policy of assuming that an accusation is proof. What could go wrong?
And it appears that Uber is investigating said allegation. We don't have enough information to know whether it happened or not. That's what investigations are for.
After the Duke Lacross Lynching and the UVA rape hoax, I'm inclined to reserve judgement until an accusation becomes a lawsuit and is litigated.
The Supreme Court has held that the Constitution only applies to U.S. territory.
Yeah, and they fucked up Korematsu, Dred Scott and Kelo too. What's your point?
Technically it is Cuban territory being leased to the U.S.
Which is irrelevant to the bill of rights. The fifth amendment doesn't say "unless you stash the people you kidnapped on foreign soil". For any American official to hold anyone in custody without trial is a crime.
all countries need to protect themselves from unlawful entry
This is a reason for positively identifying anyone seeking entry. It's not an argument for violating their 4th amendment rights.
The US Constitution is the entirety of the legal basis for the very existence of the American federal government. Is it binding upon all American government officials, agents, and employees at all times and all places. There is no provision in the constitution for the suspension of the bill of rights at the border, and the fact that our rights are routinely violated when entering the country is because our courts are derelict in their duty to enforce the constitution.

If that's the only solution you can think of, then you're way out of your depth.

There's very little difference between driving at 40 mph and 120 mph when the car is autonomous. Consider the speed of today's CPUs.
I'd be glad to let the car drive itself and get much shorter trip times.

abysmal sales figures
You're delusional.

Apple includes an analog headphone adapter with their phones, and the Airpods are a massive hit, with demand still outpacing manufacturing today.

. If Apple is wrong about their bet that people don't really care about the headphone jack then it will cost them business.
They already know that they're right. They have the sales figures to prove it.

Bingo.

she went through "proper channels", her claims and those of other women - ALL AGAINST THE SAME MAN - were dismissed?
Yes, I know that's what she's claimed. That's something I expect the investigators to either confirm or disprove.
