I went fishing today and had to drive some very sketchy, not-on-google-maps dirt roads to get to the first spot I tried. What happens to that sort of thing once we're all living in walkable condos and depending on driverless Uber for exceptions?
- abdullahkhalids 7y agoYou rent a car that you can drive yourself to wherever you want. Over the long term in a walkable city, that is definitely cheaper than owning a car.

- H8crilA 7y agoIt's not hard to learn how to drive. Otherwise not ~everybody would be able to do it. I don't think that self driving cars will replace all cars immediately. That makes little sense from CAPEX perspective, cars are fine for 5, 10, maybe 15 years. You'll not replace an okay car for the latest self driving vehicle, dumping the previous car to the junkyard. Rollout may take decades. And we still don't know when are they coming to the market, that may also take a very long time.
- onion2k 7y agoIt's not hard to learn how to drive in a society where most people want to learn. A couple of decades after self-driving cars are commonplace there won't be any instructors working in cities, the rules will be very restrictive for what human drivers are allowed to do, and lessons will be astromonically expensive due to the low demand.
- H8crilA 7y agoI think the world changes enough in a few decades that we can assume it will adjust to the new landscape.
- colinmhayes 7y agoThis is a joke. Driving is incredibly easy to self teach with 10 minutes and a parking lot.
- praptak 7y agoI guess this becomes like horse riding. You can still do that and it's not even that expensive.
