> I also once had a driver in Chile who, somehow, micro-slept in stop and go traffic every time the car was stopped

Imagine how desperate you would have to be to drive a cab when you're that sleep-deprived (probably haven't slept in 36 hours). Now imagine someone took that income away from you to give it to Sundar Pichai.

Yeah, sometimes it's unpleasant talking to a cabby, and sometimes he won't take a hint and stop talking. But you might learn something if you try to engage, instead of vibe-coding inside a surveillance robot.

Desperation isn't an excuse for risking the life of your passenger and other road users or pedestrians.

Probably undiagnosed diabetes. My dad would do the same and he’d have a regular night of sleep

So instead of giving my money to Google, I should get in a car where someone could easily kill me and others?

No thanks.

    Just stay indoors away from strangers where it's safe.

I think we're in a lot of trouble as a society if our choices are between a) automating away people's jobs and giving the savings to rich company executives, and b) getting into a car that's being driven unsafely.
