Uber

I've tried Uber *finalleh* used it for 6 times so far in the span of 3 weeks.
And what a delightful experience it was.

What I like with all this whole Uber-riding ordeals is the human interaction part. People who do Uber comes from all kind of background & it's refreshing to have new discovery with every ride. Even from my fairly little Uber-riding trail, I've had the previllege to meet a bunch of wonderful people.
To converse about open subjects, in Bahasa or English, and explore life stories & ideas whilst getting to your destination is definitely a trip I enjoy.

But in the same time the tech industry is buzzing about making unmanned, self driving cars & integrate them in Uber & other ride-sharing ecosystem. One one hand- as a programmer myself  I  have vested interest in the advancement of Deep Learning & Neural Network platform that made these kind of technology possible, and I would like to see the frontiers of science expand. But on the other hand I'm a bit dejected, to see the human interaction part taken away from the equation...no driver, only passenger & the intelligent car ferrying people..idk, sounds bland.
