...as opposed to now when the driver uses his car as a weapon and then gets out and starts stabbing people (UK) or shooting people (US). And people use cell phones to detonate bomb by remote, so we should ban those too, right?

We don't do possession; we do defense and attack. Everything else is just wa**ing with a football.

Thanks for the info, yes, 13000 uber drivers submitted fake criminal record certificates to tfl last january,,,,Fake certificates! transport for london admitted last week they had got in touch with 2500 odd, leaving 10500 uber drivers from anywhere in the world driving under false documentation,,,driving licnces maybe? certainly criminal record checks,,,and over half of 160 odd sexual offences last year by taxi/minicabs were by uber drivers, none by black taxi drivers,,,the stats dont lie!

It isn't disused. When I was there one day a f***ing massive plane came into land right over us.

The advance of technology is in transition from making our lives better, to compromising our wellbeing. The next phase will be increased unemployment, heavier drug use, greater social unrest and the further breakdown of accepted values, leading to more violence on the streets.

I am also quite drunk tonight, so I may edit this I the morning...

Uber cancel their testing of driverless taxis in the States, as one kills a child.
