imo for AR purposes the gaze is a huge improvement than just pinching (a-la HoloLens). I agree though that for productivity, a more tactile device is needed. In practice I end up connecting my keyboard via Bluetooth, or just end up mirroring my MacBook, when I need to do real work

For work purposes, the privacy factor is a huge benefit -- nobody in the room can peek at your "screen"

> Cars are more convenient and comfortable

I worry that this perspective alone oversimplifies the issue and doesn't consider that when riding an SF bus today one has to worry about:

- Aggressive passengers

- Stench from smoking / urine / body odor / people bringing in garbage into the bus

- Being on guard in case of theft (can't pull out laptop and catch up on work)

- Falling off seat due to aggressive bus driving

- Sketchy happenings by the bus stop

These aren't mild annoyances as the authors' wording might (unintentionally) imply, but real health and safety risks. More so if one is female or are physically disadvantaged.

I'd love to see this concern being talked about more as part of the conversation.

You would need to change your entire society to fix that. I don't have those issues where I live because people for some reason don't do those things.

There are solutions to those problems other than robotaxis.

Perhaps we should solve those issues directly instead of finding a way to ignore them by paying investors money.
