I like how you began this thread by saying that a person could not possibly believe that self driving cars aren’t very important, which is a statement about the nature of reality and the limits of human rationality, and are now sort of saying that you think that self driving cars are important, which is a different topic. I also liked how you brought up trains and then said I’ve switched the point when I responded to your point about a train. I concede that your point about San Francisco’s train ridership is unassailable proof that self driving cars are as important as water treatment and germ theory. Since it is the only train in the world and has less than stellar ridership, it is proof positive that the very concept is worse than a car that drives itself into oncoming traffic. It is a shame that the author of the article did not take a moment to consider ridership numbers of the San Francisco rail project as his car was attempting a u turn on the freeway. A small minded person could find themself thinking about impending death and not specific train projects worthy of derision.
