5 shuttle buses chartered by Google, Apple apparently vandalized on I-280, possibly with pellet gun

Shuttle buses carrying Apple and Google employees were apparently vandalized Tuesday while traveling to and from the South Bay, officials said. No injuries were reported.

Five buses driving in the northbound and southbound directions of Interstate 280 between Highway 84 and Highway 85 were damaged during the Tuesday morning and evening commute, said California Highway Patrol Officer Art Montiel. Four buses were chartered by Apple and one by Google, the officer said. The Apple campus is located off I-280 in Cupertino. Google headquarters is in Mountain View off Highway 101.

According to Montiel, several bus windows were damaged and cracked, possibly by pellet guns, BB guns or rocks.

According to an article on TechCrunch

In response, we've learned that Apple has rerouted the bus routes for employees living in San Francisco, adding 30-45 minutes of commute time each way, as the company works with authorities to see what exactly is going on.

    You minimize the amount of development we are missing for huge swaths of this future you promise. Seriously, look into any single thing you are talking about automating and you will find the automation isn't 100% of where you seem to assume. Taken as a whole we have a long ways to go.

    On to your second half, these is absolutely no reason changes require bloodshed. Any person encouraging that is at best a git. Try using the system we have in place, get fucking political. If you have the numbers you would need for war, you have the numbers you would need to do this the right way. Sorry it isn't heroic to you without an "army", but if you approached this from a less dipshit direction you might just have my vote, as is you are a problem not a solution.
