- jgh 8y agoAlthough electric scooters aren't a great replacement for self-driving cars in a lot of places that aren't California.
- woolvalley 8y agoYou can bike in london and seattle too. Even in snowy canada.
- jgh 8y agoBikes have bigger wheels than scooters.. Try an electric scooter in a few inches of slush ;)
- nathanaldensr 8y agoI walked 1/4 of a mile from work to my hotel room today. In Houston. In 95 degree, extremely humid air. In direct sunlight. I knew I should've called the hotel's moving room shuttle for that sweet A/C. Not everyone lives in a perfect, unchanging climate. People like cars because of their utility, including the climate control that you only get because it's a "moving room."
