If only they showed so much concern for the taxi drivers they displaced unlawfully.
Across the country, Uber has argued for a slower deployment of autonomous vehicles to ease the transition for drivers - and pushed for rules requiring ride-hailing platforms to have "hybrid networks" that combine self-driving cars with human drivers.

mined some recent rdr process transcript history using Arcaneum to index transcripts. Now looking at FSM cli tools to speed up the flows as LLMs are unreliable as state machines. chris.wensel.net/project/arca... #llm
This is a Mermaid state diagram showing a schema/RDR lifecycle workflow with states: Seed → Propose → Refine → Resolve → PreLockReview → ResolveFix → Reconcile → Finalize (Locked/immutable), with a "Demoted"
  branch for items "not worth an RDR," and several "rewind" feedback loops back to Resolve.

Resolved Originally two signs up blocking the public path from both directions. Now one altered sign moved aside. Hopefully a disabled person didn’t have to call it in. This is the only safe path to the conservatory.
