Electric cars still make noise.
- ghaff 8y agoEspecially when the hypothetically self-driving ones are all tooling around the block 20 times because there's nowhere to park.
- nwah1 8y agoThat's why I mentioned smart parking meters. They would set prices so that there's always spots available for those willing to pay more. The end result being less congestion and shorter commuting times for everyone, by avoiding the need to circle the block.

Electric vehicles still don't help cities too much, they still sit unused for 95% of the time time, and occupy a large amount of space compared to bicycles, pedestrians, or public transit.
