The company made a profit of €2.5m last year and is completely owned by the co-founders. Not bad going.

And you still won’t let others park in your big ‘driveway’ you awkward cunt
Why do you keep putting driveway in quotations, Mac?
Thousands out of work. ‘Progress’ is great.
Fuck off back to your cave.
I can imagine in your mind the Industrial Revolution was a bad thing and cost lots of jobs.

I attended it for first three years. I am amazed how he has mugged people off but people seem to lap it up so fair play to him.
Some of the talks are interesting and you get insights into what is coming in the future but it is really just that - entertainment.

At the risk of sounding racist, it might not be a bad thing. At least the driverless taxi’s have a better chance of ending up where you want to go than some of the jokers out there at the moment.

How easy would be to operate these cars after 12 pints of danger and a few half ones?
I’d imagine they’d have a large red button which just says home (which you’d have programmed in).
