Self driving Uber vehicle kills pedestrian

I personally favor the idea where there is no such system in place.  No need for bartering when everyone just gets what they need when they need it.

Notice that I used the word "need" and not "want".  

Who determines what people  "need"?

I imagine it would best be determined from a sociological framework.

My take: apparently the vehicle Uber adds their self driving technology has some anti-collision technology that is not used or not integrated with the Uber technology. It is unclear (to me at least) if the Uber technology is supposed to duplicate or extend the capabilities of the basic vehicle they've added their system too.

I fully expect a 40-50% unemployment rate by 2040. We're most likely going to have to install a universal basic income for people to survive.

Really, why?  3.5 billion people running around smoking cigarettes and riding on Hoverounds ™ is really going to suck.  Where are we going to get all the batteries and tobacco?

How do we make that framework not a contest?  Seems anytime power over someone is given, the contest and corruption starts.

By disallowing those in "power" to have a say while placing the system directly in the hands of the people.

You're still thinking in present terms! We're thinking future here, buddy. Nobody will be smoking cigarettes in 2040.

And with "Vape" being the new craze, as well...

I vape. But not nicotine.

Then what will I use to know that I'm superior, christianity?
