Sorry I didn't realize this technology only applied to Calgary.. I can acknowledge the pros of the concept but it seems you can't acknowledge potential cons. You're right though we should all share cars controlled by big corporations and governments because nothing can ever go wrong. As long as I can check out Facebook on my way to work.
No, I can't.

Know why?

Because disruption is going to happen whether you like it or not.

And your catastrophizing around the whole things sounds like my grandparents back in the mid nineties going off on how the Internet and Nintendo will turn us all into Jello.

If you're going to come up with disaster scenarios where Big Brother and private corporations are running your life, you may as well wave the white flag on everything in life today. It's already here.
