The ride-hailing company said Thursday that customers will be able to opt into the test program, which will use autonomous Ford Fusions summoned by the touch of a smartphone. Although other companies are testing self-driving cars on public roads, this is the first time the public will get access to them.

This article looks at global cumulative real income growth from 1988 to 2008 and does some analysis of what's going to happen in developing and developed countries as technology continues to replace jobs.

Quote
Technology has gotten so cheap that it is now more economically viable to buy robots than it is to pay people $5 a day.
...
We need to be thinking hard, now, about technological unemployment. About the fact that while technology provides benefits to billions, the economic gains tend to be concentrated for a few. About the fact that we made up the idea of a job in the first place.

This is not a task for a small group of intellectual elites. This needs to be a collective conversation, from first principles: What should our global socioeconomic system look like?

I have this strange deja vu - I thought you already posted that and I already posted this

Sewing robots are coming.

Traditionally sewing has been a hugely hard automation problem because of sheer... that's close to solved.
Traditionally sewing has been a hugely important first industry to take the poorest countries into the middle, as it did with China (and England in some ways). This problem is yet to be solved. What will the new bridge industry be? What if there isn't one?

The articular said "The adhesive eliminates the need for mortar, so the robot can build wall after wall in no time without human assistance." But there are clear gaps in the bricks.  Maybe the walls get a spray treatment of some kind to fill in the gaps?

Quote
California Governor Jerry Brown signed a bill into law last week that allows autonomous vehicles to operate on public roads with no driver, steering wheel or human-operated breaks.

The new guidelines, released Friday, state that companies can test autonomous vehicles without a driver if they include a two-way communication link between the car’s passengers and a “remote operator.” The vehicle must also meet federal standards, including a 15-point safety assessment.
