The Netherlands has a ridiculously dense population and is completely flat.
It's only a good model for other places with a ridiculous population density and pancake-flat geography.
You couldn't apply the Netherlands model to, for example, Scotland.
- rglullis 4y agoFlatlands or not, it does not mean that cars are the only reasonable mode of transportation. Even if you insist of trying to solve a social problem with technology, it would make more sense for those living in hilly areas to push for electric bikes than self-driving cars.
- Gordonjcp 4y agoI don't see what problem self-driving cars solve, either. Electric bikes are too slow and inefficient, and require expensive hard-to-make components that depend on conflict minerals.
- rglullis 4y agoSlow and inefficient compared to what? And what is the difference in battery technology from an E-Bike compared to Tesla?
