The future desired by robocar people is that in a concert hall of 40,000 people, 40,000 private cars just slow-drive around the concert hall from the 7:30pm dropoff until the 11pm pickup time, blocking streets for a mile in every direction, so that they can be ready for their masters at a moment's notice. Think "world's biggest traffic jam, everywhere, all the time".
The future!

Kind of a jarring experience to have dudes publicly in my mentions defending Stallman over individual nitpicks on one item in a thousand-page dossier while right next to them on my TL are locked posts from women detailing decades of trauma and ruined c...@glyph I was publishing "Stallman is bad" stories 30 years ago and he's still around, and his defenders are as vigorous as ever. It's really astonishing.
It's not a close call with him. The fact that society can't even manage to get rid of the "not a close call" ones really doesn't speak well of society.
