Sebastian Thrun: Google's Driverless Car
Driverless, Electric Taxis Set for UAE Debut
The streets of Masdar City are said to be entirely free of traditional cars, so these podcars will be the only way of getting around short of taking a train, riding a bike, or just walking. These cars, and the other means of transportation, will actually be situated below ground, and while they will have batteries, they'll run on a grid that will restrict the places they can travel somewhat. The idea is you'd swipe an access card, be greeted by name, and then be silently whisked away to your destination -- or close to it, at least.
The first cars are set to hit the subterranean roads sometime later this year, and, having survived many a harrowing trip with a human taxi driver, we can't wait to see them spread to other metropolitan areas. [From: DVICE]

Are they stupid! Im 18 and even I can see this is a dumb idea. The Economy is in trouble, clearly removing the job of driver could be an issue. Gosh in NY alone how many jobs would that cut?

This is at least a century old argument of Soviet argument. Technology does not eliminate jobs, but it create better jobs and a better quality of life. someone still going to have to maintain this peace of equipment, and machines eliminates the human errors and laziness.

It is nice creating such a place with a local carbon footprint - the planet needs it direly. The only drawback is that a lot of resources are being exploited to get it done hence producing a huge carbon footprint that will take ages to off-set.
The end product might be great but at what expense?

ATTENTION:
I know this email will reach you as a surprise, am seeking for your assistance in respect of my consignment which is now with a diplomat in Dubai.
How are you today hope splendid?first let me introduce myself my names are Samuel Udom am writing you from Accra Ghana, as am speaking to you the said consignment boxes worth an estimate value of 40million Us dollars. My late father panther Raymond Gray who was suppose to receive this consignment and help me invest on the funds over there happen to meet with an accident that cost him his life.
However what I want you to do now is to help me get in touch with the diplomat over there and receive this consignment so that the diplomat will not return the truck boxes back to Ghana, this is the more reason why I need your help. I am willing to give you 30% of the funds inside so that I will be able to join you over there by next month.
If you can help me kindly get back to me immediately so that I can brief you of what to do for you to claim this consignment boxes for me so that the diplomat will not return the consignment back to Ghana. However you can write to me on: smlkf@yahoo.com I hope to hear from you soon.
Best regards.
