I want you all to know, those exploiting you love you very much. Those fighting for your humanity are not populists and despise your corruptible treacherous hearts. You are the mob of lascivious appetites who want sweet lies over bitter truths. It’s like how much you hate “the feds.” While plenty of evil men have infiltrated your governance on all levels, those doing their jobs to keep this wicked world running are the ones devoting their lives to something more than self gratification.

And yet, the powerful minds of Silicon Valley and the investors who fund them are trying to do just that. This is easier said than done. Ride share drivers have a competitive advantage over driverless --- due to the fact that most are going to pay for their automobile and insurance whether they ride share or not. All things considered in today's market --- a cheap electric vehicle with some driver assistance would be ideal for ride sharing. Guess who is building these vehicles --- China, not Silicon Valley. Also, this whole market is ripe for disruption from something like: https://libretaxi.org/ . The missing component is marketing and promotion.
