Actual red herring here is developing new automobile technologies at all.
- tempodox 6y agoI have the greatest startup idea ever: Selling petrol-driven generators with a web interface for charging electric cars. Premium tier will include automatic refuel ordering. Of course the generators will be completely useless when the web is down or our hosting company goes out of business.

Electric and autonomous cars would be positive steps forward to solving these problems, but are fundamentally still doing the wrong thing better. The technology to solve all of our transportation problems already exists, and often has existed since the 19th century. Autonomous rapid transit has existed since the 1980s. Compact towns with walkable streets, safe cycling lanes and high quality public transportation are all more effective and more affordable approaches to how we primarily move about our world.
