I personally couldn't give less of a fuck.
I just want busses, trains and walkable cities. Cars shouldn't be the norm in any society.
I was just in Seoul and got around everywhere I wanted to go with public transit. Several times comparing public transit and taxis the transit was faster.
In all fairness they tried horribly in Nevada called the Vegas Loop where tunnels were built under the city to speed up transport using driverless teslas to get to like several points as quick as possible. I think it was a flop though. Its the big reason why companies shouldnt be making these things and instead should be government projects for infrastructure improvement. Mixing profit with necessity never works.
The whole idea is stupid. It's a subway with 2 person cars.
The car company told us why subways simply don't work well. Totally legit. The contract was also won in a competition called "who can make a good public transportation system", so pay no attention to the car company taking the winnings away from the train and bus companies.
Yes.
Also trams ! (That are well separated from car trafic)
And for people who don't live in cities ?
If you need to go to the city you drive your car and then when you're on the outskirts you can get a bus or a train in?
I did not said that.
My "people who don't live in cities" means "for people who don't live in the city and don't need to go in the city", not everyone need a city in their lives.
And in this case, train and bus are not an option for most of the times.
Is it still the "norm" when it concerns less than 20% of the people that make up society? They didn't say cars shouldn't exist at all, just that they shouldn't be the norm.
Not to mention they wrote "busses, trains" before talking about something exclusive to cities.
