That plus self-driving tow trucks and you have quite an operation.

That's really something, huh?  I could foresee a day when AI data encryption is outlawed in the private sector -- but I am sure it will not stop it from happening.

I think that ship has sailed. Aren't there still laws on the export of strong encryption? I don't think they do very much.

Years ago I was having a conversation with NFFC about how we are in the end days of someone being able to move up the the income ladder before the major restructuring.  Basically, if you aim to have wealth, you better start/keep accumulating now while you still can.

thats cool.

Next stop a full suit.  It would work nicely in the bespoke world. Walk into the shop, measure, choose the fabric then watch it being made.

Wasn't sure where to post this, it runs into several threads, but I see similar here:

Interesting.  I suppose they could do the 'kiosk' via a cell phone app that would take care of the drive-though people.  Hmm... I guess that would be technically illegal and dangerous unless they order before they pull up to the drive-though.  This won't be an issue when self-driving cars become widely adapted.
