With virtual reality and electric cars, there has been a slow but steady increase in technology and quality for these products, that has been noticable at all times.
IE, the existing electric cars in 2004, were better than the electric cars made in 2003. And the same for 2005 cars, compared to 2004 cars.
This happened, until eventually they became good enough that people started using them, but there was still noticable progress along the way.
The same is not true for unions.
The unions in 2000, were not noticably better than the unions in 1990. There is no steady and obvious progress, or linear regression that can be extrapolated into the future.
IE, for these other technologies, they were clearly getting better by X% every year, using a measureable, objective metric. Battery life, or screen resolution or whatever.
You do not see an x% increase in an obvious objective metric for unions.
By what objective metric were taxis improving by prior to the technology that enabled ridesharing? Sounds like the intersection of workers' rights and high-tech is awaiting the Kalanick of unions.
