I can't wait until they use this and "market pricing" to justify charging minority demographics in urban centers more for higher-traffic peak hours or simply extend the peak hours wider in these zones to exploit these communities more aggressively.
You know they will, because they'll be able to, and the current "justice" system doesn't know what just action looks like if it marched in to Congress and stole the podium.
We already allow housing, transportation, groceries, and I'm sure tons else to be effectively price-redlined, so I'm disappointed but not surprised to see more of it encroaching.
