Again, this is zero sum thinking. We can have both efficient and safe driverless EVs as well as trains/buses run by the government. Personally, I'd prefer to take the former given how little interest the government has in enforcing laws on public transportation, and this trend seems undue to change.

I'm not sure what you mean by this. Are you talking about HOV lanes and bus lanes not being enforced, fares not being enforced, or literal lawlessness on public transit?
- buzzert 4y agoLiteral lawlessness on public transit. I gave up on Muni in SF and started driving my car a lot more after the n-th encounter with drug addicts ruining public transportation for everyone.
