It would be way cheaper and more practical to just to have everyone work from home that can or live close by to where they work or have cities invest in better public transport and biking infrastructure.
Sure none of those are as cool as the JohnnyCab but they already exist so require no R&D.
- notriddle 5y agoSure. All it would take is razing LA to the ground and rebuilding it from scratch. I don't think I'm exaggerating, either. In a city plan like that one, any public transit route is going to, even at optimal configuration, have simultaneously too many stops and too little: * Too many stops, because the train or bus spends more time stopped than it spends moving, so rides across the city take forever. * Too few stops, because you still have to walk a mile to actually get where you're going. Fixing this requires a walkable city, which can be summarized as "don't spend half the land area on parking and stroads."
