Cars are just a problem.
Everything about them from the emissions they produce during manufacturing, the wasted space for parking, through to the tire dust, the noise, even electric cars are noisy enough, I'm currently living near a main road which is concrete and it's just insane how disruptive one car can be to our sleep.
I don't think self-driving cars will improve much, lost of the problems are still going to exist, traffic, noise, reduced walk ability, lost of space for roads and parking...
I will admit we own a car, but I really, really think before I turn the ignition. 9/10 I can use my bike and get some exercise or order online and just wait a day or two for something to arrive.
- jaclaz 3y agoI applaude to the use of the bicycle, but does the stuff you order online arrive to your place via Star Trek transporter like or is there a truck delivering it to your doorstep? The truck probably creates the same or more tire dust than your car. Now, if you had someone delivering your goods on foot or bicycle ...
- Euphorbium 3y agoDelivery by camels or donkeys is the next uber.
- ChatGTP 3y agoSnide , unimaginative comment and not how I feel at all. One delivery truck can take hundreds of cars off the road. Doesn’t that sound good ?
- jaclaz 3y agoIt depends. If you do your weekly grocery shopping online and you have it delivered at your home, it may save a few cars worth off the road. If you order five different small (readily available locally) items on Amazon and each of them is delivered to you by a different courier not so much.
