This is exactly the case. It's really easy to forget when living in a city that the people out in the 'burbs dominate your bubble in terms of both size and influence.
I don't see the need for a car right now because I live in a city. But whenever I go back home, I'm reminded that living in the burbs without a car is usually impossible. It's not even that the buses are inconvenient -- they just don't exist.
- internaut 10y agoYeah, we have a reasonable bus route network for the country but you cannot actually travel from one major town to the next without using a car. One of the impacts I see the self driving car having is a massive multiplier from being able to close this gap e.g. I could order goods from the next town. Bad news for supermarkets. I think they will be wrecked by the competition self driving cars will bring.
