    doing absolutely anything but giving people good free public transport. Do you want to use a self driving car that is run by companies that will start hiding things like heated seats behind a paywall, leave backdoors for governments that will eventually be used by bad actors to track exactly where you’re going? i don’t trust this shit at all waymo is google and google might as well have signed a deal with the devil

      Obviously fuck this, but your arguments are the same for public transport. Government run, easily tracked and has paywalls.

      It is an efficiency, decency, environmental and cost decision. Waymo loses all. Convenience currently is its seller.

        public transit shouldn’t have to track you to give you service, and for buses you can pay with change so unless they check the cameras which they need probable cause to do then no its not tracking anything about where you’re going and logging it anywhere in some database

        but i believe in free public transit anyway
