I don’t want self driving cars. I want public transportation so solid that you don’t even need to hop in a car unless it’s a taxi situation. I want infrastructure.
@ErickaSimone I so agree. The key to more efficient transport with lower carbon is not self driving cars, not even electric cars. It is superb public transport. That means buses and trains that are frequent, cheap (preferably free), and easily tracked by a mobile phone or similar so you know when it is arriving. It means safe, comfortable stations to wait in. It means vehicles that are accessible to disabled folk. We'll still need cars for rural etc, but far fewer.
@rogerparkinson it means seeing public transport as necessary infrastructure instead of something to profit off of, which is where America fails all the time. And I just said we should send the cars out of cities and into rural towns were transportation can be life or death in health situations.
