Any list that puts a state like Minnesota or Iowa as the best place to live is a fucking joke. I saw that & stopped reading.

Seriously, Iowa?

Just the simple fact there's topographical variance, trees, and ocean makes California vastly better - all other variables aside.

Now even a lot of minimum wage jobs are being lost due to automation. A McDonalds in my city has tablets you order on now instead of speaking to a person. Grocery stores half the time don't have checkers or baggers and you scan and bag yourself. Once they really perfect driverless cars a whole lot of other people will be out of a job as well.

Unless the turn the highway into railroad tracks where they have tracks on the grounds, im not trusting a driverless car. I read online the driverless car for google was getting into all kinds of car crashes

A driverless shuttle bus being tested in Las Vegas was involved in a crash an hour into its first day on the job - although it wasn't the vehicle's fault.

The eight-seater vehicle, started as a pilot of Las Vegas' smart city infrastructure, experienced a minor collision after a delivery lorry reversed into it. While the vehicle stopped when it noticed the lorry reversing, it also failed to avoid it.

Several people were inside the vehicle when it was hit.

The incident is the latest in a series of crashes involving driverless vehicles, the vast majority of which have been caused by the other vehicle's driver.

Almost all the incidents recorded by Waymo, Google's autonomous vehicle arm, have been down to human drivers hitting the vehicles, and a major crash involving Uber's driverless cars in March was down to the driver of the other car.

While driverless vehicles are seen as safer than humans, at least in fair conditions, they have also been seen as over-cautious and can move in a robotic fashion, meaning human drivers fail to anticipate their movements.

A spokesman for the City of Las Vegas said: "The shuttle did what it was supposed to do, in that it’s sensors registered the truck and the shuttle stopped to avoid the accident.

"Unfortunately the delivery truck did not stop and grazed the front fender of the shuttle. Had the truck had the same sensing equipment that the shuttle has the accident would have been avoided."

crash in the first hour of the first day in operation

Driverless cars suck because drivers on the road suck
if you have a network of driverless cars that know each other's positions on the road at all times
then the cars can adjust speed and turning simultaneously

human drivers may not be able to read each other's minds
but computerized drivers can

Funny how the people who actually live in California seem to really like it

California is pretty dope. Theres actually a fucking shit ton of jobs, at least where I'm at. Being unemployed in my area means you don't want to be employed. Any level of experience you have and almost any career, a position is available. Definitely an expensive place, but the well paying jobs tend to balance that out. My place is $1800 a month rent and between me and girlfriend we have never had trouble paying the bills, and neither of us have particularly well-paying careers in proportion to the area.

The people I know here who are struggling heavily and/or homeless are all lazy akira_akuma types who don't work just cuz they don't want to. California gets a bad rap. Almost a shining utopia if you know what you're doing. Most people here just don't lol. Califonia is so poverty stricken because no other state is filled with more lazy, socialist, millennial "artist" types who contribute nothing to society and get fucked. Not out of brutality of the living conditions of the state, but because of their own incompetence.
