The beginning of the end for Uber, Lyft and the traditional taxi driver. Tesla just released RoboTaxi in Austin, Texas. A self driving autonomous vehicle that will take you anywhere as long as there is energy in it's battery and a rioter hasn't set it on fire.
This makes me think of the overweight woman who sued Uber because an Uber driver refused to transport her. Well, she doesn't have to worry about that again.
To honor all taxi drivers, here is a scene from the movie Taxi Driver. Your about to go the way of the Carriage Driver, but your contributions to transporting everyone from criminals to nuns throughout the last century is cemented in media. You will never be forgotten. You might think a taxi driver is a low level job that nobody values, but there is a value here when dealing with a human being and not a computer that can't be expressed in money.
