Just press go: designing a self-driving vehicle

As someone who has ridden those buses, I spent a long time trying to figure out why the left was giving them so much grief as you astutely point out. I can't see it. I put myself in their shoes, read the rants, and the platform just doesn't make any sense to me.

Which is too bad, really, I have a feeling there is an important issue there that I should see.

I think the idea is that San Fran should be for people who work in San Fran. If you work in Mountain View, go live in Mountain View. Rent is high enough in San Fran without people who commute out of the city for work.

Yes, I realize that, and live in Mountain View. I've also lived on the east coast, where it's common to live in north Jersey and commute to NYC. People live where they want, and attacking a supply and demand issue by starting with the demand seems like the wrong approach.

I'm not prepared for this debate, just pointing out why I can't understand the position.

It's not my debate. I was just giving my opinion on what the argument was.
