in an ideal world we wouldn’t need self-driving cars. Trains are much superior: faster, more energy-efficient, cheaper, can carry hundreds of people with a single operator who can probably be automated anyways. In an ideal world i imagine most things would either be in walking distance, or walk to a train/bus and then walk to your destination. Subways and bus-only lanes cost a lot upfront but pay off in the long run. Unfortunately most subways are underfunded, overwhelmed, and falling apart because they were mad decades ago and not maintained well.
