I bet uber would fix the problems real, damn quick though! Maybe they could sell some front page ads to Lyft while Uber fixes their sh**.No, they wouldn't. Deleting Uber from the App Store would have inconvenienced Apple's customers. It's easy to ban a small-time developer, not so easy when your customers would be heavily impacted.
When it comes down to hitting a pedestrian or an oncoming car, what would an autonomous vehicle decide was better?
Here's where I am conflicted. I love the service, even as I find some of their practices deplorable, and as long as Uber continues to operate in my country, I will never use another taxi for as long as I live.
The taxi companies really have only themselves to blame for becoming so lazy and complacent and allowing themselves to be disrupted by a better, more efficient service. The uber drivers I have encountered are way more polite, knowledgeable and have a better attitude overall compared to the taxi drivers I have come across.
If a kid darts out in front of a car, a human driver is usually going to avoid them at all costs... even if it means slamming their car into something else or driving into a ditch. Heck, many people have already done this for even pets in the road.
No they wont. Are you saying people will stop buying iPhones because of no Uber?
LOL! Ya....good faith....tell that to the developers that get nothing but a "you've been removed from the App Store" message. I'm sure they will worship Tim and Apple and be totally cool that others get special treatment. And the Apple apologist movement treks on.First, the name calling invalidates your entire "argument". Impossible to discuss without some Tim Cook bashing meme or name calling for some people.
The CEO has a balancing act here and seems to have done his job. The app was changed to conform to the rules. Whether you "believe" they received special treatment is irrelevant; cook acted in good faith. This is the same "good faith" displayed to devs when their apps violate the agreement.
Flux devs or Dash devs werent invited to the Apple campus over tea to get a second chance.First, the name calling invalidates your entire "argument". Impossible to discuss without some Tim Cook bashing meme or name calling for some people.

What apple/cook did, imo, was the right thing and took "courage" to call out the CEO of uber to fix the issue. If you take exception you could delete uber from your idevices and use the android version. Who knows what that android app is doing.Flux devs or Dash devs werent invited to the Apple campus over tea to get a second chance.
And its obvious they recieved special treatment. Apple should show the "courage" to remove the app from the store until they revoke their 5 minute tracking policy. Who knows what other code they are misusing.

I'm sorry, I missed the message you were attempting to send because of the weak straw man argument and name calling you were using.LOL!

Data? I have seen humans swerve blindly to avoid a ped. I've never seen a human consciously choose to self-destruct.
Hopefully the one with the least amount of casualties.Which would a human driver choose?
You can trust whichever you like but I don't trust people or computers making a life or death choice. 1,000,000,000 miles of testing means nothing if there is still an accident based on SOFTWARE.What are you trying to convey in this post? Did you know that autonomous hardware has to go through 1,000,000 miles of PERFECT testing before its allowed to be used on the road. If I had a person vs a machine that had .2 seconds to decide whether to hit a ped or a car I would probably rely on the car more often since it can at least make a decision in that time.
They are very lucky Cook was CEO. If Jobs was still running the show, there would have been no meeting.
Genuinely curious.. AFAIK, you're not a fan of Samsung at all. Yet, it seems like you're willing to give Uber a "free pass" simply because you have no other alternative. Is it.. fair to say that much?Here's where I am conflicted.

They really could've done more to keep the likes of Uber and Lyft from getting too far into the market.I think you're being a bit hard on taxi services. The Uber idea was always going to trump anything else and was always going to be done by someone outside of the taxi industry.
I have never got an Uber and don't plan on doing so. I expect they'll have some serious competition sometime soon and I will look at using a competitor. I just hear too many stories about Uber that steers me clear of them.
This first time a child in the street is killed by a self-driving car that could've easily avoided her by hitting say, a parked car instead, there will be a public backlash and a cry for programming that puts outsiders above occupants at times. Then it becomes a moral quagmire determining what combinations of people are worth more than others.
I thought apple rejected apps that could access UDID.LYFT is doing the same thing with the UDIDs
Or just use Lyft or another alternative. Uber is a truly horrendous company.
