I would think (hope) pigeons won't be as much of an issue once the moat's covered. They stay around the moat now for crumbs. Once they can't get in, they should just be attracted to the sidewalk - which still means they may hang out on that parapet but, I'd hope there'd be relatively less of...

Will this not also impact smart track? So, we already know the changes they are currently making won't support ridership in 2031. Now it won't even support RER in the mid term. Any chance they saved the pieces of the old train shed they removed for the center portion? Was thinking they could...

Shoring has now begun. Will try to get current photos this weekend.

I would think all the cars can talk to each other, so it would know where the open spots are. But question is, will the occupants want a spot far away from the mall entrance, or whatever. But, if they're fully autonomous, I guess it could let you off at the doors and go find it's own parking...

^please tell me this is some sort of sarcasm or humour that's flying right over my head.

If they can do this: http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-ryno And this: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-3294047/Meet-Motobot-Yamaha-unveils-roborider-race-round-track-200mph-soon-taking-self-driving-cars.html Why not. Yes, it's sort of funny, and in my opinion, pointless...

My friend had this happen to her (but it was on a SFD house) she had to fight MPAC, and it took a while. But she argued that, how could they assess her higher than what she just paid. It took a while, but MPAC relented.

What happens to motorcycles and people that love to drive them? Do they become illegal, or self driving? Just curious. Hell's Angels and other bike groups won't be happy. Other thing I'm curious about what do you do about people 'gaming' the system? I.e. Pedestrians or bike couriers? When all...

It's definitely going to have to be a wait and see. The dinosaur/car-junkie in me just can't wrap my head around this autonomation being so widely picked up so fast. I just don't see any interest in people a similar age as me and I'd imagine the same up to the 60ish yr olds. I also can't grasp...

That'll never fly in America, the whole big brother thing. They love their freedom and all that. Terence Corcoran had a column in the National Post that touched on that point, but that guy is a crank in the first place, so it's hard to take him seriously. I'd post the article, but it was really...

Ironically enough, you just defined me. I work from home and use the GO if I have to go downtown. My car's basically a grocery getter and weekend trip deal, but I still wouldn't give up my car (but apparently I'm a rare bird) In the city, sure, I can see a much bigger zipcar style setup. In the...

I was thinking about the racing thing too - how would you find drivers in like 50 years when the system is truly widespread and no one has any experience? The other side of it though is. There may be an autonomous racing league for everyone to test new tech, although that would probably be...

Just playing devil's advocate again. What happens if ISIS, Al Queda or Anonymous (or whatever the terrorist group du jour is) tries to hack the entire system, or one brand? These things will be prime targets for that kind of thing.

No, I've said it's widespread use is far away. Everyone can't just decide to buy a 30K car tomorrow, It will take probably 20 years until a majority of cars are autonomous. And we still don't have the first truly autonomous car, so more like 30+ years from now. By then I'm 75+ and may need one...

You misread my post (and I was a bit unclear.) I was comparing seniors to drunk drivers. Both of whom would be unable to drive one from alcohol, one from age or loss of sight, etc. My Dad's a perfect example, he hasn't been allowed to drive in 20+ years because he's legally blind, but once fully...

how will you get a drivers license in the future? Do you just have to know how to enter your destination In a gps? What happens if there's a local or massive outage? What do you do if there's a defect in the sensors of your car? No one will have experience in driving an actual car.?

Then why did the government mandate them To make a 15 % cut a few years ago? Oh ya because seniors complained. Again, Until it's fully autonomous, it's pointless.
