alternatively, we can reshape cities with better public transit, liveable walkable areas, and allow people to not need a car. europe and asia look at america and shake their heads. which is money more well spent?
- valine 3y agoSure, with 80 years and a trillion dollars that could work. Why bother working on self driving software when you can restructure all of society.
- paulryanrogers 3y agoConsidering how modern, US society was built for cars perhaps it's only fair we dial that back a bit. The end result is likely to be more humane and ecologically sustainable.
- valine 3y agoAbsolutely, we should be building public transportation for the next generation. But pretending that it’s a solution for people today and using it as an excuse not to build self driving cars is short sighted and stupid.
- HDThoreaun 3y agoOk then do it. I don't think you can. People are too into cars here. It's fun to dream about the perfect city layout but we need realistic ideas.
