Try finding a taxi in about 99% of the US more than a few miles out from big cities.
I live just outside Minneapolis and we were SOL until Lyft arrived. Lyft and Uber still aren't available in most small towns. This is not "solved".

Lyft and Uber still aren't available in most small towns. This is not "solved". You can call for a taxi, even "just outside Minneapolis." Also, taxis aren't the only solution to drunk driving that's better than unsupervised self-driving cars. You also have things like designated drivers, etc. It would have been silly for me to enumerate every single one in my original comment.
- cgriswald 5y agoUnless things have drastically changed from my youth, a taxi is just a phone call away anywhere within about 40 miles of the Twin Cities.

- leetcrew 5y agoeasy to say, and not hard to do yourself. nearly impossible to convince the general public.
- HWR_14 5y agoMake the bar identify a DD (or not if you're in an area with taxis) or lose their liquor license (like with serving underage kids). Or have them confiscate keys of people who drive into the parking lot and only give them back after a breathalyzer. It seems easy enough to do if we're serious about it.
