If an employer could consistently hire females at roughly 75% the cost of males, why would there be any males on payroll? Who wouldn't simply terminate all the males, and replace them with females?
I've been driving for Uber for about nine months now, part time.
While autonomous vehicles seem like a natural fit for this service, I can say from experience that about 30% of the pickups are set by the passenger at a wrong location, and require some driver / passenger interaction in order to actually find the rider and make the pickup. With the driver out of the picture, many of these will trips will likely become a "cancel - wrong address" and re-request, adding to the pickup time. I don't see any practical way for an autonomous vehicle to work out that Peggy isn't actually standing in the middle of the mall - which is where she set her location - she's really outside the Verizon store at the curb, waving frantically.
Further, how will vehicle condition be managed? How will they insure the vehicle is clean and ready for the next passenger? Free of vomit, personal property, not vandalized? Will each vehicle be monitored by a remote Uber employee from a concrete bunker in DurkaDurkastan? If so, then we're right back to the human employee problem set again.
Seems like they'll be trading one problem set for another.
Day or night is irrelevant if the aircraft was in IMC (Instrument Maneuvering Conditions) - exterior view is useless for attitude control when you're in the soup.
I've gotten two quotes from reputable firms - bids were roughly $32,000 and $35,000 for a 7.2kW grid-tied (no on-site storage) system. This is before various state (CA) and federal tax credits.
Good riddance.
Now kindly proceed rolling heads throughout all upper and middle management, until you get to the first employee who indicated that the always-online feature was an indescribably bad idea.
He or she is new CEO.
Do a little studying outside AMA textbooks and the Lancet. There are plenty of studies pointing towards big trouble with our faith in vaccination. Look into it with an open mind.
Dudes and dudettes if you going to post about a scientific article how about reading up on the science behind the article so that you can post intelligently?

Why do male employees exist? Anywhere?

Thoughts?
I'm not your friend, buddy!

Holy fuck, he's right. Push on.
However, several saber-toothed cats did land on the moon.

Not quite the same as a Japanese whaler slicing it up for dog food and perfume.
