I live in a country with 25% unemployment, South Africa. I've used Uber a few times in the last week or so and my drivers have been:
- A high-school dropout studying towards his Matric and wanting to go into engineering.
- An owner of a backpacker lodge looking to do something during the day when his business isn't busy.
- A retired person looking to earn some extra income.
- A full time Uber driver who was a long-haul truck driver.
IMHO, my country needs more nerds churning out code which will cut through the bureaucracy our government has put in place and create opportunities for our unemployed.
With regards to self-driving cars, that would be awesome. I just don't see that it's something that would be affordable in a developing country in the next few years.
I've been using the library for the last few months on a number of projects. It's sort of become my Swiss Army knife for PHP. It's saved me a ton of time.
