I think that future is a long way off for lost places. We haven’t seen these really proven to be ready for most urban environments. We haven’t seen them perform well in randomized conditions (road work, emergencies, marathons, critical masses, etc). We see them do well in good weather and predictable traffic conditions.
I’d love to have better transit options, whatever that looks like (including driverless cars), I’m just skeptical of us getting there on a large scale anytime soon.
- alooPotato 3y agohave you ridden in one?
- phatskat 3y agoI have not, they aren’t in my city and I doubt we’ll see them for a while (decent rain, hellish snow conditions in the winter, potholes abound)
- alooPotato 3y agothen you can't say they are a long way off. I have and it's working. Right now. In a city with crazy traffic. And construction. And techno pessimists putting cones over their lidars. In the rain. 24/7. It's fucking incredible.
