An interesting piece - Our Driverless Future by Sue Halpern:
“All economies have
winners and losers. It does not take a sophisticated algorithm to figure out
that the winners in the decades ahead are going to be those who own the robots,
for they will have vanquished labor with their capital. In the case of
autonomous vehicles, a few companies are now poised to control a necessary
public good, the transportation of people to and from work, school, shopping,
recreation, and other vital activities. This salient fact is often lost in the
almost unanimously positive reception of the coming “mobility revolution,” as
Bill Ford calls it.”
