Not shooting the messenger Dov:
I as someone who works in this industry will be disgusted with this sponsor.
This company a subsidary of google are systematically forcing drivers to work longer for less.
Meaning less safety for the public as drivers are working over 18 hours a day every day without breaks
siphoning money from the local cab offices into shareholders pockets
Are planning driverless cars therefore consigning thousands of drivers redundant in the future.
Probably not the right thread for this but, sorry, black cabs were just too slow to move with the times. They were resting on their laurels and were not keen to invest in the future. I mean, FFS, I got in a black cab the other day and couldn't even pay by card. Nobody wants anybody to lose their job. However, we live in a capitalist society; if something better comes along for less money, people will take it. I feel sorry for black cab drivers, to a certain extent; some of the problems they are now facing are their own making.
