Not Just Bikes 🇳🇱Nov 5, 2024

My latest video is finally ready (and it almost broke me).

It's a collection of all of my thoughts about self-driving cars ... and it's nearly an hour long. 😱 I've been working on this video in the background for two years, and intensely for the past two months.

My next few videos are going to have to be shorter and more straightforward or I'm going to lose my mind. 😂

It's up on Nebula first for now:

Not Just Bikes — How Self-Driving Cars will Destroy Cities

Are self-driving cars a fanciful pipe-dream or are they the future of transportation? I don't know, but there's one thing I am sure of though: they're currently on track to fundamentally destroy the fabric of our cities.

@notjustbikes thank you for your brilliant videos.
As you mentioned that driving for AVs may be cheaper than parking. There is a neat paper by Adam Millard-Ball on AV parking.
Driving slowly is cheaper than driving fast, so AVs might be programmed to actively seek out congestion to "park" them even cheaper. This, of course, would make congestion worse.

@hysteretic @notjustbikes Did you say it will make congestion even better?

@hysteretic @notjustbikes
If congestion gets worse, they will just build more lanes and fix it.

@hysteretic @notjustbikes why did they call it a "parkway" if they didn't intend thousands of AVs to park there?
