15 Driverless Wheels

San Francisco

I was in San Francisco recently, and encountered many of these driverless cabs. It's quite disconcerting the first time you look in the driver's seat and see no one there. The seatbelt is plugged in though (across an empty seat!)

I removed my disk break image....but it was important to me. Once, decades ago I was a drum break man, working in a break shop...miserable time, and disk breaks were only on in race cars and very high-end....so seeing these disk breaks everywhere is thrilling to me....I don't have to bleed break lines or rotate drums on the cutting machines...

We don't know how good we have it. Disk breaks are a miracle.

I have not see one in action yet.
I am waiting for the roll out of "car on demand" one of these days.
It is a good use of capital.
