I am extremely excited about and invested in this project, but I don't necessarily agree with the author's predictions. Rather, I see the way Virgil's design constraints have led to a very cool, novel and interesting approach

I’ve relied on public transit for 7 years in 3 different cities and never once have I encountered a “violent junkie”. It’s far safer to take transit than to drive. Cars kill 40,000 people a year in the US. Cars are the leading cause of deat
