California approves limited testing of self-driving cars without wheels or backup drivers
My own twisted vision... so about this Looney Tunes Utopian Car-Tune you star in, right?... it has you riding around NY or London in some nasty public vehicle engaged 100% by the same unwashed narcissists who mindlessly carpet-bomb skank all over public toilets. Why not try sharing your bathroom with 9 other NYers so it's not idle 90% of the time... or partage your iPhone with 9 London hooligans to compare your present TCO against all the viruses you & this eco-friendly jail-broken self-driving iPhone will accumulate.paxman said:
Sure, if you put it like that. But I think that is just your own twisted vision and not a reflection of a likely future. Cars spend on average 90% of their time standing still in a driveway. Tco of car ownership is unreasonably high if you live in a city like NY or London. I like driving. Both cars and motorcycles. But I despise sitting in traffic. I'd rather read a book or the news.ericlmercer said:
Well, let's see if this makes sense then. Let's shift gears. Imagine this scenario: you're in a rush... man, you're in a hurry & you've gotta go... right now... time is of the essence, it's here so you gotta commit regardless... you open the door, step inside, have a seat & live with the consequences, captive for the duration...paxman said:Absolutely the future of autonomous vehicles. PodCars. For city folks this will 'change everything'. I just can't imagine anyone would actually own their own vehicle. It wouldn't make sense.
Would you rather be sitting in :
a) your own personal, hygienic home bathroom or;
b) on some convenient albeit septic, herpes-infested public toilet seat?
I bet people will prefer their own self-driving cars.

Customer rampages through French Apple Store, smashes iPhones, iMacs, MacBook Air
Nope. Unfortunately they'll all belong to him after a judge makes him pay up... then he heads straight back to that store with his 18 defective Apple products & Mighty Orb of Justice...boredumb said:I wonder if Apple will repair the items he broke?

Well then, you must not have seen the rrrrrest of the story... as a slight (albeit very French) tussle did actually ensue :gowithseabass said:What's so amazing is the way he was treated by employees, security and customers. The security guard appears to be conversing with him about his actions, the store employees don't appear disgruntled or scared and other customers aren't reacting to his actions. In America his antics would not have been so politely received. My guess is a bystander would have intervened and a tussle would have ensued. Everything just comes off very passive.

iPhone 7 owners say phones producing 'hissing' sound under heavy task loads
Air escaping a water-tight encasement as its two fast cores heat up?
