You're forgetting to take into account that an electric drivetrain (power electronics and electric motor) is several times more efficient than a gasoline drivetrain (ICE motor and gearbox). It also weighs less.

I fail to see how their overly clever solution is in any shape or form better than the regular approach shown under "How others declare them" – except for being a "cute" "hack".

You were probably downvoted because you made a strong statement without further explanation, or at least references that support your claim.

My point was that although public transit can reduce car accidents, it cannot and will not ever completely replace individual transportation, so FSD cars which are safer than human drivers would still be a benefit to road safety. I did no

I'm not arguing against public transit, not at all. My point is that public transit cannot and will not ever be a complete alternative to FSD cars, especially outside dense cities.
