How much more efficient? Aren't most of the promises of automated cars predicated on having dedicated highways, forbidding hands-on driving? Is that ever likely to happen inside of a decade? And once we do get there, is the earned capacity from full automation going to equal other options, in both cost and efficiency, that we could be pursuing now?
I don't think it's reasonable to block real progress with illusory claims that in a decade or two, cars may finally stop killing people and ruining the environment.
- Silhouette 11y agoJust to be clear, I'm not in any way suggesting that a viable, fully automated system will be happening any time soon, nor that we shouldn't fix more immediate problems more immediately. I was just responding to the valid question of whether more automation would just promote longer journeys and in doing so make some things worse than they were before.
