I’ve never understood why driverless cars are the solution everyone is obsessed with. Surely better train and bus networks would solve the issue, and then add some bike lanes (golf cart compatible for those with accessibility needs) and you’d also tackle the obesity crisis. But no, I guess that’s just not quite enough ‘convenience’ for people.
Well I can explain why I thought driverless cars were great when I was in highschool. A perception of cars being necessary and the idea that driverless cars solve most of the issues with cars, like accidents parking and traffic (to a degree). I only changed that opinion when I became more informed of the idea of car dependency and how it affects cities.

Because tech bros
especially American tech bros who can’t imagine their cities existing in a state where you don’t need a car to exist
And these folks will influence how AI will think…
