Because the central bank has negative interest? It's the reason commercial banks will refuse to store sufficiently large amounts of cash in a 0.00% checking account (even though they offer it for smaller amounts).

The main flaw with this article is that it's reasonable to think that since car transportation is already expensive for the poor that there shouldn't be even more costs for the poor. In "realpolitik" one can't reall

It's true that 2D is a lot easier than 3D. It would also require a lot of new technology. It is a solvable problem, though, and we need to solve it to some degree even today (due to airplanes). The need to solve coordination will only

Flying autonomous vehicles can reasonably be energy efficient, and clearly are space efficient (due to the three dimensions that provide plenty of space). Travel time is the correct property to optimize for my values. I don't want to s

Even more ideally you can fly anywhere quickly instead of settling for either long transportation times or walking to whatever is nearby.

Agree with the current level of technology. That's why Boeing is developing new technology to solves these issues.

There's nothing preventing "flying cars" of delivering a lot of people to various locations. 3D space is quite large.

If the vehicle is flying and autonomus (like what Boeing is developing), then there's plenty of space in three dimensions. Coordination should be solvable with software. Energy use is an interesting factor, of course. There are possibi

Flying cars are in theory more "efficient" than public transportation, because public transportation doesn't take you directly from your home to your destination unless by accident (e.g. you happen to travel to destination wh

Wouldn't the cost of infrastructure scale with the increased tax revenue from the increased population? I would also assume that infrastructure is actually cheaper per capita if population density increases, which would imply lower tax

Spending money on basic necessities like housing, food, electricity, water, health care etc. is still consumption. Also note that retirement can still contain some money for extra widgets and other fun stuff - just less than the average con

"Capitalism" doesn't contain values like "you must spend money on something else than housing and food". It just happens that people do spend money on things other than housing and food, so the market system does pr

The article states "There will be humans available, but the idea is that they’ll get in touch only in case of absolute necessity.". I would imagine there is a way to open a direct chat with customer service in these cases.
