*and affordable. The trains by me are barely affordable, so I will only take them if absolutely necessary. It would be amazing if it was cheap enough that I could just pick a place to go and explore without needing a reason.

somebody should do a compilation including data about:
- the costs of public transport against private cars, for the whole city
- the space consumption for parking your private cars in a city compared to the space consumption for all public transport vehicles
and make a statistics and post it here
They have (I've seen them, but don't have a link sorry) and car free or semi car free with good bike and public infrastructure is almost always cheaper and more efficient
Hell yeah!
Or even
Wait for it
SELF DRIVING TRANSIT
Which yes is already a thing too
And much easier to implement than self driving cars
Boring?
Yeah, public transit so common and part of day-to-day it's unremarkable and boring.
I'm hearing you want continental Europe
*western continental Europe
* exceptions may apply
Shame that they don't want me. ;_;
I've been saying for years "self driving cars are solving the wrong problem". The problem isn't that I have to steer my car. The problem is I need a fucking car to go anywhere worth going.
But then this problem will be solved for those who can't afford it. This is simply not fair to those who are hardworking to earn their salary

Obvious enough, but people are crazy and I’ve seen people here with even worse opinions.
Normalize treating it as irony
