    I still find it remarkable that we have convinced everyone that we need self driving electric cars … when a bus or train does the same

      But you see, it’s not buses or trains that do the same, it’s limousines. It’s the air of exclusivity that the self-driving car-manufacturers sell, people like to feel special and don’t want to spend time with the riffraff, even if it means they themselves become serfs to the technology companies.

        The first thing we see when opening that link is literally bicycles.

        If we need self driving cars to help with the last mile issue, I’m pretty sure people will tend to use them for more tha the last mile and ditch other options.

        Fuck cars. They are dangerous lethal heavy machines that should not be in urbanized environments.

          I find it funny when people spend more time searching for their car and finding parking than it would have taken to use a bus
