    Taxi drivers are the most aggressive, entitled and dangerous road users where I’m from. I’d gladly see driverless cars instead as I have no doubt that even in this early stage they would be better and safer than the cunts that drive taxis around here.

      Yeah, they did the same when Uber got popular. If they had a fair and friendly service, people wouldn’t flock to the alternatives

        Yeah there certainly wasn’t any loss leading or intentional undercutting being done to get below profitable prices to drive current players out of those markets /s

          Both can be true though. I don’t support things like Uber and Lyft but only because of how horribly they treat their employees. I don’t have much sympathy for the taxi industry that never bothered to modernized over the last 50 years.
