It eliminates traffic, parking, and alll the other pain points of owning a vehicle just to get from A to B when a car is the only true option. Certainly, FSD buses would be a win-win for cities too.

- 1970-01-01 10mo agoIt's important to make the distinction that flowing traffic and sitting traffic are different things to people. I really don't think a flowing river of FSD is worse than a static jam, but I could be wrong here, as there has never been a full self-driving city.
- Analemma_ 10mo agoIt's very much a question mark whether FSD would eliminate traffic. If people can zone out and be on their phone while their car drives them, that encourages a lot more trips which might not otherwise be taken because of bad traffic. I can easily see FSD making traffic much worse.
- triceratops 10mo agoIt doesn't eliminate traffic without congestion pricing. FSD reduces the annoyance cost of driving in traffic, which means there's going to be a lot more traffic.
