Sorry but I won't spend 30 minutes waiting outside in snow, then getting on a bus for 10 minutes, then waiting some 10 more minutes, then getting on a bus for 15 minutes and then 25 minutes of walking through snow, when I can just be there within 15 minutes by car. It's not far, it's just uphill (the bus is too long to fit on these narrow uphill roads).
I can't wait for autonomous cars. I just hope that someone in charge will realise that not everyone lives near a frequented bus stop before they limit all transportation to public transport (as they plan in many places). I noticed that many people talking about the great benefit of public transport live in the wider city centre - but most people live outside that!
- thatfrenchguy 7y ago> I can't wait for autonomous cars. So that the US can build more ugly boring car suburbs ? Autonomous cars have the potential to make american cities much worse transit-wise.
- TomMarius 7y agoSorry but IMHO your perception of beauty has no priority over allowing people to live a fulfilling live...
- thatfrenchguy 7y agoAnd one can argue fairly easily that not spending life in traffic is more fulfilling.
- TomMarius 7y agoThat's what autonomous vehicles solve. So we're back to square one - your perception of beauty is not a standard.
- thatfrenchguy 7y agoBut autonomous vehicles will mean a flood of them on the highway... Stuck in traffic.
