A short while ago I wrote about (here) the Guardian newspaper reaching out to Uber drivers to obtain information on their experiences with the parent company.  Now it appears that treatment of drivers by Uber will eventually be moot as the company intends to move to autonomous vehicles beginning in Pittsburgh.  Goodbye to the Uber version of the gig economy...unless you are a robot.   Guardian reporter Julia Carrie wong writes (here), "Uber has not specified how many autonomous vehicles it plans to roll out in Pittsburgh, but state law requires a licensed driver to be seated behind the wheel of any vehicle, autonomous or not. So the cars will still have a human driver in the front seat – for now."  Nevertheless, this is a great demonstration of the company's "f*ck the worker" attitude.  Granted this rollout may take well over a decade but the message of the company is clear, the only good worker is one that does not have to be paid.
