How can they possibly charge all the cars that are parked on the streets?
    We won't be using cars.

    We will be using people pods which we will summon.

    You will have to share at busy times with someone going part of your route.

      Might work if the vehicles are all driverless/automated.

          Nope.

          And I don't want to share with school children or babies.

            Video appears to show Uber driver getting oral sex during ride - Story | WFLD

            An Uber passenger says he experienced "the most dangerous and inappropriate ride ever" after his driver was allegedly receiving oral sex from a woman in the front seat.

            And to make matters even worse, the passenger says Uber attempted to apologize by offering him a $10 credit.

            The incident allegedly happened in Chicago on July 17 around 3 a.m.

              No, they'll be have implanted some nano-technology in your gut. No straw required. But you won't be able to give a tulip.

                I take it you are probably not in favour of this then?

                Not sure why I think that just a gut feeling you know?

                  Who told you that? Deisel won't spon-com in normal conditions but when it does ignite it's a proper pig to put out.

                  This is a nother typical Government sound bite not in the least thought through. Again. They must be trying to hide something...

                  Bet it prompts all the car manufacturers to talk about leaving. Again.

                      In about 1898 my granddad was one of those lining the street to watch the first petrol car chug into Portsmouth, with a reg number something like A3.

                      I may just about last long enough to watch the last petrol car drive out of Portsmouth in 2040
