You're taking a very city centric view. Many interstate freeways are absolutely full of trucks. Just because you don't see them in your urban center doesn't mean they're not a part of everyday life for millions of Americans.
You don't get to just pretend driving is some kind of vice, like smoking, that we just need to discourage people from.
- notheguyouthink 10y agoCompletely agree. I mean, i'm all for having humans no longer drive asap, but that doesn't mean we'll be done with roads and travel. Also people need to remember that these "trucks" come in many shapes and sizes, and a big truck will move the inventory most of the way on interstates, and then vans / smaller trucks actually deliver in many cases. Especially within cities where traffic and space would make driving a fullsized haul impossible. Imo, people shouldn't be driving - but people should be traveling still. The world wide delivery system cannot be moved into city limits.
- dashundchen 10y agoInter and intra city travel are very different stories though. The acres of parking, sprawl and mega roads within cities are gobbling up productive land, generating pollution and driving up commuting and real estate costs, all while sucking down massive amounts infrastructure dollars and subsidizes.
