This past week, the city tax and limo system put a seize and desize on the lift vehicles trying to operate in the city. These companies that have technologies that the company likes, and is a technology that we all should be supporting which is booking of a vehicle through a app and we can see the vehicle and so forth. That is not the issue, the issues like the tlc has found is that taking your personal car and acting like a taxi cab without any medallion requirements and inspec
That because we are doing construction and things are going on does not mean that it should hurt the business owner, and we really appreciate the togetherness that the department came together for to help Small Business create parking for their customers otherwise, we would have been in a lot of trouble. Thank you very much. Thank you. Next, please . Howard, straner followed by dave, snider and tone lee, and those are the last people. Directors, this is howard, and i want to give you another update on Driverless Cars and so now it seems that google is in sacramento trying to develop the state rules for these cars. And now they have a prediction, perhaps in ten years these cars will be available with no driver, no controls, no nothing. And but very good, and this is difficult as all of those algarhythms are and tying all of the camera work and everything into the controls of cart and probably one car talking to another car and one car talking to signals and all of that kind of stuff and

And but very good, and this is difficult as all of those algarhythms are and tying all of the camera work and everything into the controls of cart and probably one car talking to another car and one car talking to signals and all of that kind of stuff and when those cars come to San Francisco, and they try to run it and someone spends 30 million to provide taxi service because that is what it will be is driverless taxis and you will have to come and say that no one will have to park again, how are you going to make your 200, 300 Million Dollars a year that you need from parking cars .
