“This is it. We’re dead. We’re going to die right here in the Waymo.”
This combined with another recent article from some insiders at Tesla saying, along the lines, “You couldn’t pay me to let one of these things drive me somewhere.”
And yet I still know people who are just so chuffed about “never having to drive again.”
EDIT: Comments have pointed out that this story is, at best, overblown and semi-fabricated otherwise. Take it with a massive grain of salt. But feel free to discuss self-driving, waymo, etc in the comments!
The solution is to tax the shit out of cars and funnel the money into public transport. Starting with the massive trucks.
Do that all you want, there’s not going to be enough money (nor would it be ecologically sound) to create a robust public transportation system in every small Nebraska town.
I’m not saying it’s a bad idea, it’s just that it’s only part of a solution.
