Obviously you do surrender all of your travel privacy to the data broker. That's why they are making self-driving cars in the first place. But you're already doing all of that by carrying an Android phone.

It is?

I thought they wanted to disrupt transportation.


I mean the most obvious reason is making money.

But other things like making the roads safer is a nice side effect.

I'm not.


My boy. Now, when a self-driving car drives past you, make sure you show them that sweet middle finger of yours.


Actually whenever I give one my sweet middle finger it's stuck in SF traffic and I'm zipping around it on my bike.


Google fanboys entered the chat room. Care to explain what is it that you dislike about my comment? Was any of it non-factual?


Strange this is downvoted no ?


I also found it strange. The parent comment has some amount of hyperbole, but it does not detract from the point they are conveying.

Pretending they're being tracked and that people are making money from it makes them feel important, more like. You aren't actually that valuable.



You can tell this is an academic fight because it contains the phrase "disproportionately harm marginalised groups", which is the San Francisco version of pounding the table when they don't have an actual argument.

More importantly it doesn't mention making money off it.
