of course the car cannot do that, because it doesn't have a magical driving ai, and its sensors are one or eight lovely cameras

I mean, Google Maps quotes 41 hours to drive from NY to LA, so you could do it in substantially less than a week if you were willing to trade off driving with one or more people, or drive for long periods of time at a stretch?

And webcams don't really weigh much anymore so loading isn't a factor either.

Actually, here's a couple cars with webcams driving coast-to-coast:

you're not getting it, it's not just an accelerometer, it tracks the position of the employees hand in realtime to "prevent errors in shelving or picking" and I'm sure it certainly won't be used to grind out that last 0.5% of "slack" that the poor people who staff their warehouses currently enjoy

Exactly. I always wanted to drive Route 66 with my dad, he's a big fan of that Americana bullshit.

woz is part of the era of bay area hippies that were kind of frustrated with the failures of their political projects and saw computers as some new one (whole earth catalog type stuff), and he seems to have a lot of the trusting optimism a lot of those guys had

woz is also probably the most successful one of those guys because he partnered with jobs, the other archetype of the bay area hippie -- the hyper-capitalist that kept the lifestyle bits of hippie-ism, who commercialized his product

it was fun to go to a reunion with a bunch of these guys and the modern techies and have them realize that a bunch of their heros, who they had never really looked into all that deeply, were actually mostly just burnt out hippies who's ideas never really went anywhere (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Xanadu for example), and not super capitalist min-maxing tech-lords like them

Why would someone want to have a computer drive for them? Wouldn't that be intensely stressful for the passengers?
