You certainly can. For example early cars couldn't go every place where horses could. And only recently cars started to become autonomous which horses could do since forever (my great-grandpa supposedly had a horse that drove itself back to home while grandpa was sleeping on the cart).
And of course horse produces manure which is useful in farming. Cars still lack that feature :)
- tengbretson 5y agoDo you think horses are banned?
- imoverclocked 5y agoHorse drawn carriages are banned in some cities. I think many places don't need to ban them since owning a horse has become something of an elite activity due to cost/care/etc. In Tucson Arizona, I saw a guy riding a horse down a busy street. It's pretty amazing how out of place it seemed, even there. The street he was riding on was historically used to race horses (much like people race cars on public roads today.) There are old ordinances still in place which don't allow parking of horses in front of public buildings like court-houses.

- karottenreibe 5y agoOn many European motorways with high top speed (e.g. German Autobahn), for example.
- Dylan16807 5y agoDo you think banning horses would cause a resurgence in horse use? If not, then the lack of ban makes the "feature parity isn't necessary" argument even stronger.
- anonytrary 5y ago> And of course horse produces manure which is useful in farming. Cars still lack that feature :) Cars shit exhaust. I think there are products/research where yo can capture the exhaust with some filter you apply, and then can send the gathered matter back to the facility. Not sure if it's useful for anything though.
