[meme] Why do people only seem to mean cars when they talk about electric and/or autonomous vehicles? - Lemmy.world

Of all the subreddits we should’ve left on reddit.

This braindead circlejerk never should’ve come here. You are all completely disconnected from reality. Enjoy your larping.

I would argue that those who are disconnected from reality are those who believe in a system that essentially requires every single person to own and operate a 2+ ton piece of heavy machinery just to get groceries or go to school or work.
In cities, yeah sure. But in rural areas? How is that gonna work without cars?

If the only places using cars are truly rural areas, that’s still a major upgrade.

And by some countries’ metrics, there’s a high bar for truly “rural” where they won’t have a train stop. By then, you’re barely addressing anyone.

Who gives a shit? Nobody lives there anyway; that’s what makes it “rural!”

Rural people don’t matter (when it comes to this topic), and pretending they do is nothing but concern trolling.
