Holy Crap Self Driving Taxis


 Holy crap.  I had no idea that Waymo self driving, driverless taxis even existed or that they are now available in Phoenix Arizona, San Francisco, and Los Angeles.  Have I been living under a rock?!!  I was aware that Tesla was working on autonomous self driving vehicles, but I did not know that there was another company who’s self driving cars were already in operation and available for use by customers.  I seriously need a ride in a driverless taxi! I read that they will be coming next to Austin, Texas. 

Unfortunately I somehow lost the link and video that I saved of my husband and his friend and colleague taking a ride in a Waymo taxi.  Below is a link to a video I found online that I had also included.

Note: I understand that calling these cars self driving and driverless is redundant but I don’t care.  I’m just really impressed by this fact and the technology.

Thoughts & Insights

Things Belong Together

 Things belong together. For example, a plate that I have saved that is meant to be used underneath of a candle should be with whatever candles I have.  If I value the usefulness of this plate, then it should be kept with my candles and not in some drawer in the garage where I forget that it exists.  That just doesn’t make any sense at all.  I don’t know what has taken hold of me to suddenly experience such organization and storage enlightenment.  ðŸ˜‚  Oh and any currently unused nightlights that I still wish to keep should be stored in the same location as night light bulbs.  It just makes the most sense.  Oh thank you fairy of storage knowledge for the imparting of your beautiful wisdom! 😚🩷 😯 My miscellaneous drawer is proving to be work.  I’m realizing that most of its contents should really be stored somewhere else.  I’m not finished yet so this may prove to be true of all of its contents.

AI Memes

 I got the idea of asking ChatGPT for memes from    https://www.instagram.com/chatgptricks?igsh=NGV0ZHpkN25vMTFh   on  Instagram.  I keep getting cat memes. 😂 Update: The link above no longer links directly to the post that I was referring to.  It just links to the account called chatgptricks.  What an odd and cumbersome text creating contraption. 😂 I must be really old because typing on typewriters is how this was done when I was young.  My world has changed drastically since then!!
