Money Speak
Uber CEO Travis Kalanick is expecting robots one day to come up to his condo and deliver a latte. asking investors for money for the self-driving car thing is about now and not some lofty futuristic goal of the technocrats that he is a willing member thinking he can structurally change society. Kalanick recently Spoke to a packed audience forced to hear his bullshit at UBER headquarters. The company really thinks they will have the autonomous vehicle thing nailed down aka Total recall and the Jetsons. The company is valued at sixty six billion dollars for some reason and in partnership for scamming the system Uber teamed with Volvo to deliver 100 cars in a deal to make Uber look more attractive to investors and to value spectators for putting some more numbers in supposed value of this ridiculous dream. Travis may like it or not but Uber's dream of people not wanting to drive their own vehicle will be the bump in the road of his plan. Travis says says that artificial bots will be serving their human masters by 2026 as Ubers meeting became a bit grandiose and neurotic. Kalanick wonders how will things be delivered and that Uber and a staff of mobile robots will be in position to get the job done although he said nothing of the millions of tons of natural resources that would have to be dig somewhere to meet this manufacture assemble need. Travis also envisioned a day where truckers can be more efficient and not even have to stop for sleeping and that trucks can keep importing shit from China as we have been and trucks will be running twenty for hours where the driver can get his sleep while the truck is going and sleep deep like a baby. this idiot also told future generations of Uber drivers not to worry about their role in the future being displaced by the autonomy driverless future. he says there will always be niche drivers needed as Uber's fleet goes from thirty thousand in San Francisco to one million vehicles running around and dodging stuck in traffic. he says there will be routes his software can't handle and perhaps a few drivers will still b e needed from time to time.
