I don't think there is any risk of stagnation. Maybe we should work on why we need cars in the first place. We can simultaneously work on public transport, or virtual presence, etc.
- inglor_cz 5y ago"Self driving cars" are just a subset of "autonomous vehicles". Public transport would benefit greatly from driverless buses. Bus drivers are a scarce resource. Where I live, there is a shortage of people willing to rise at 4 a.m., take responsibility for 40-50 lives at a time and, at the same time, have unpleasant interactions with members of the public (meeting a few asshole passengers everyday belongs to the job, unfortunately).
- passivate 5y agoYou're right. I guess I'm thinking that mass transport systems with dedicated/fixed routes can be designed in ways that allow for much safer operation, versus an open-ended system like FSD. e.g. no risk of pedestrians on train lines.
