I'm old. Was anyone else's reaction to wonder what Uber was doing for audio-video companies?

The original title says "self-driving" and that's much more clear.

Sometimes AV is supposed to mean Anti Virus or Alternative Vote and that's really confusing because it really means Audio Visual. Anything else, no.

I saw the title and thought it can't be AV, they must mean AI and made a typo.

  • Immediately after leaving this thread I saw a post on Bluesky where someone was discussing the GUARD act and used AV to mean "age verification." It's out of control!

I was also picturing Uber drivers with a bundle of composite video cables in their hands.

Sorry, having “self-driving” in the title went over the HN title char limit, so I opted for AV (autonomous vehicles) instead.
