Uber is thinking that this self-driving car will solve all of their problems, but once again, it’s a poorly thought out plan. Right now, their “Driver Partners” pickup the cost of the car, all maintenance, fuel and clean up messes. All they are doing is collecting a cut of the fare.
Once they start purchasing and maintaining their own equipment, it will only increase their losses and the chances of riders getting a dirty automated car full of trash and vomit.
I was sure that article on Airways was sarcastic. Millennials are to blame for Lufthansa getting rid of the color yellow?
Gary,
What happened to the RSS feed? It’s now a one paragraph slice. Prior it was the full article. You tried this a couple of years ago and walked it back a week later.
The old “full” RSS feed was …/feed/full
That link is stale as of a week ago.
What’s the new link to the full RSS feed?
@RSS Reader I did not make any changes, or at least no changes have been made that I am aware of though I can ask
Edit: I still see the full posts, in fact if you go to the url itself you’ll see that the full content is there perhaps there’s an issue with the newsreader you’re using?
Sad how UBER has gone from a great new idea to total self destruct in such a short time.
