alt Hacker NewsOh I don’t care about all that.
When the highway I can see out my balcony is gridlocked everything is quiet. When there’s high speed it’s noisy.
When the roads are gridlocked I can bicycle by quite easily. When they’re going by at 45 mph that’s a lot more risky.
When the cars in the line are autonomous they won’t turn into me randomly because they lost their temper. Honestly, you’re making this outcome seem like paradise. Gridlock is a dream.
How are you getting around personally? Especially if demand shifts further to cars—now with fewer downsides—and further hinders availability and development of public transit, much like the post-WWII original car ownership boom did (and not just in the US!).
