We'll have full self driving next year.

This is the year of the Linux Desktop

I remember a little over a decade ago while I was still in public school hearing about super advanced cars that had self driving were coming soon, yet we're hardly anywhere closer to that goal (if you don't count the Tesla vehicles running red lights incidents).

A subscription to Popular Science magazine through most of my teen years did wonders for my skepticism.

We should all be switched to hydrogen fuel by now, for our public transport lines with per person carriages that can split off from the main line seamlessly at speed to go off on side routes to your individual destination, that automatically rejoin the main line when you're done with it. They were talking about all of that pre-2010.

I think I remember the hydrogen fuel thing.

Also, fuck Popular Science for making me think there was gonna be a zombie apocalypse due to some drug that turns you into a zombie.

In Phoenix you can take a Waymo (self driving taxi) just like an Uber. They have tons of ads and they’re everywhere on the roads.

I am in Phoenix and just took one to the airport. First time riding in a Waymo. It was uncannily good and much more confident than the FSD Tesla I’ve ridden in a few times.

I haven’t taken one yet but have several friends who have. Besides being generally good, one of the best parts is unlike Uber, there’s no chance that you have a weird driver that wants to talk to you the whole ride
