Super lucid break down of a lot of the issues.
I have a bit of operation understanding because very early spring, a friend and I were exploring doing an fleet/taxi management application for the NYC FHV drivers and even were at the TLC taxi app rfp reading. All of these points are lucid and concord with my knowledge
Note: I'm not doing anything in that space presently (merely did a thorough exploration of it), all the human factor issues terrified me, I like my good ole hard core math & computer science & engineering challenges! :)
Thanks, Carter! My partner Krista tried to come into town for that meeting, but they switched the date on her. You almost met!
The human factor is definitely a huge challenge in this industry, and I can understand anyone's aversion to it. That said, if you ever want to chat taxi tech (or FP -- we're migrating more and more of our backend to Erlang every day, and I'd love to learn from your Haskell experience ;), drop me a line!
