The arrogance it takes to leave a comment like this.
Many people that live in the US, Canada, Australia, Russia and others don't live in densely packed cities and suburbs in countries you can drive across in an afternoon. Some of us live in towns with less than ten thousand people, hours from a population center with more than 100,000. Some of us live in towns with a few hundred. I've driven through towns with populations in the single digits.
It's autonomous to you, but someone else is driving it. There are whole teams of people who keep those systems going for you. That's a solution? Just because you outsource your driving to someone that makes less money than you doesn't make you better than everyone else. You ignore your externalities and pretend it is a sign of superiority and sophistication.
Imagine someone talking about loneliness and ways to alleviate it and someone replies "that's easy, get your mommy to tuck you in at night and read you a story." That's what you sound like to other people with comments like this.
