Normally this is 12 month trailing PE.

"The PE ratio of the S&P 500 divides the index (current market price) by the reported earnings of the trailing twelve months."

So it's current total market value (add the market cap of all 500 companies in the index),

And divide by the total past 12 months earnings of the same 500 companies.

If that doesn't answer your question, please let me know.

If self-driving cars become the majority of cars, how long until it is deemed that "manual operated cars" are unsafe and should be banned?

For example, if it were the case that safe driving cars were on average 10% safer in most situations.

Wouldn't there be pressure to reduce deaths and injuries by banning manually operated cars.

What do you think about self-driving cars being a source of data for private and govertment organizations on where you are at any time, or your travel patterns?

Do you think there would be a time when people who displeased the government could be essentially stranded because they can't get access to the self-driving network?

I never expected the level of survailance and scanning happening in UK/China, etc.

Are self-driving cars (possibly with biometric face and fingerprint scanners), another possible entry point into survailance?

I've been wondering about the privacy / control aspects. What do you think?

Hi Alex,

I just tried your tool. Pretty nice.

I think it would be helpful to add a filter: - only files with other users

(Include any 'anyone with the link' files in the above)

Thanks for sharing your tool on HN.
