The Future of Uber & Lyft: Robotaxis & Dairy Farms

I will never trust self-driving and robotaxis. My reasons are simple. Based on my experiences and what I've seen so far by interacting with A.I. + algorithms, there is absolutely no reason to trust it. If it's that great, accurate and safe, then why am I being told to go on suicidal routes with passengers? Why can't it 100% accurately measure the time it would take to travel from point A to point B? 

A robotaxi company in San Francisco, Cruise, recently halted the operation completely after many accidents. If I remember correctly, the whole senior management resigned right away when the city of SF made an announcement of shutting down the robotaxi operation.

I wasn't surprised by that decision. They should've never let robotaxis operate in the first place. Those in the management and software engineers knew they were going to kill people by operating their robotaxis. How could they not know? If they didn't know they were going to kill people intentionally or not, it probably means they are all delusional or at least some of them are. If anyone of them in the company actually thought that the passengers and others were human beings, there is no way they would've let this happen. This happened because the passengers and others on the road were looked as numbers and not as human beings. 

My biggest reason not to trust self-driving and robotaxis came from interacting with a couple of software engineers working for a multi-national corporation.

My interaction with this one software engineer who also happened to be a manager sealed the deal for me to not trust A.I. or self-driving no matter what. The only way for myself to go along with robotaxis and etc is if the management and software engineers agree to be punished with guillotine if their robotaxis or softwares cause problems or glitches. If they are truly confident about their tech and really consider others as human beings, there is no reason for anyone of them to refuse guillotine punishment. 

Regardless of how this manager acted and presented himself in front of HR or his bosses to get a job or a promotion within his corporate environment, I recognized that this kid had mental flaws with a lack of common sense just by listening to what this kid was saying to me. With that said, I'm not too confident and super excited about somebody like this kid managing or overseeing anything let alone A.I or self driving techs or programs. I wouldn't let this kid babysit, do my taxes, cook my meals and not even deal my cards. And yet, this kid is a manager of a multinational corporation? You gotta be f**king kidding me. 

Unfortunately, robotaxis are the future of companies like Uber and Lyft in my opinion. The driver turnover rate is pretty crazy high. I've been seeing new drivers constantly past few years. This happens mainly because drivers eventually realize that there is not enough money left for them after expenses and gases. And if theses new drivers drive long enough, there will get into a car accident and end up dead in some cases. To make things worse, a shit load of drivers in the US don't have a great insurance coverage. The majority of them have a minimum liability coverage, so when they get hit by one of those drivers, that's nothing but a headache for rideshare drivers. And what about drivers driving without license plate? Those people don't even have insurance coverage at all most likely and you have to depend on Uber or Lyft insurance coverage? Good luck with that. 

With so much demand and not enough supply, only solution is robotaxi for these companies. But the problem with that is they will have no other choices but to jack up their prices since they have to actually spend money on maintenance on their fleet of robotaxis. Then, there will be downtime on many robotaxis due to passengers vomitting and having sex with cum stains or body fluids all over the seat. They don't have to worry too much about hackers jacking their system or software malfunction since they will make passengers sign a waiver. It will be interesting to see how everything will turn out. 

If the robotaxi business model is not profitable and doesn't work out. I'm very confident that companies like Uber and Lyft can move into dairy farm business and be very successful at it. Why? Because they know how milk the drivers and passengers. They are the masters of milking you like cows. If you are a mother with a newborn baby and having problems with lactating or breastfeeding, you could contact one of these companies, and they will definitely help you find ways to milk for you.
