I kept looking at the MacBook Pros, but I feel I'm getting more value from an iMac.

Public transport in San Diego was actually pretty decent @maccast

At least it was three years ago

you gotta be Iron Man to commute in New York subway XD

MaJiKman
17:16:22
And insurance companies will just raise premiums to pay for it.
BronwynECG
17:18:06
literally around here to get from point A to point B can take up to two or three hours on public transportation. Same distance in driving is like 15-30 minutes :/

I have a self-driving car. I drive it myself
BronwynECG
17:23:25
I think it’s not so much a “car culture” as a “control cuture” the need to contol your movements yourself
maccast
17:23:52
Downtown, yes @patrice, but outside a small area it's not great
MaJiKman
17:25:44
but that will only work when all cars are self drive
Ewen
17:26:20
Agreed Majikman. Great stuff but not sure that they will ever let it out
bobbeach

2 or 3 years to fully autonomous cars? I doubt it

@bobbeach From a technical perspective we’re not that far away

17:27:09
@bobbeach I believe Elon Musk has predicted by 2021
MaJiKman
17:27:16
maybe we can just have self drive cars drive on the left and manual drive on the right
patrice

2020-2021 are what most experts predict

just follow Chuck's advice backup first. But I've heard from most beta testers it's worked fine without issue
patrice
17:49:58
The fact that it’s already on almost all iOS devices should tell you something about how stable it is
chuck
17:50:02
back up! back up! back up! have three copies before you do the upgrade. Just in case.
