LA traffic? better dig a tunnel, because public transportation is too hard

easier to imagine the end of the world then Paris, where they did a subway extension longer and cheaper than NYC

there are even driverless trains, if you really want to cut that last 0.1% of fat out of the budget
-
and the whole "on rails" thing solves all of the problems driverless cars can't get over!

...you're joking, right? Trains are only last-mile solutions in ultradense urban areas. Elsewhere, they don't get you home.
-
and even in ultradense places not for people who can't/don't want to walk home from the subway station (elderly, cold climates)

@ladygolem as someone who's disabled and can't drive safely, I'd love to have a driverless car to get to the train...Merci. Twitter en tiendra compte pour améliorer votre fil. SupprimerSupprimer

i feel like the "problem" they're actually trying to solve w/ driverless cars is "having to interact with poor people ever"
-
I can only speak for myself, but I see many varied reasons for self driving vehicles. Cities could own them too, making it public.
-
I find it laughable the problem are already solvable for transportation but we're societally broken.
-
thus we fix peripheral issues & obliviously don't fix actual problems. AKA SV's innovation bubble.

It might not be ooutwardly obvious, but driver-less cars could be helpful to a lot of people with disabilities
-
or people with temporary chemical impairments
-
Yep, that too.
