Exactly!
I’m glad someone saw it. I thought it was a little obvious while writing it. Then after peoples responses, I was worried it was too veiled. Thank you.

That’s how imagination works. You can imagine something having nothing to do with reality.
Maybe I don’t understand the question.

Isn’t that what full self driving vehicles are?
They only barley work in small local areas, needing frequent human interventions when anything unexpected happens. There’s no real reason to believe they’ll every work in our lifetimes, the way we imagine they will.

First, nothing is “safe” in absolute terms. Literally everything a question of relative safety in comparison to something else.

Second I think you’re still imagining something like the current road and street systems we have today. Replaceing and outlawing human driving will be at least a century away. By then the transit network will look very different.

The local “last mile” surface streets would have to be mostly bus like systems with very low speeds. In cities at least. In rural areas people at all wouldn’t be allowed to walk or cycle on roads for vehicles. There would be seperate routes for that.

Highways will exclusively kind of psudo-road-trains, of buses and cargo trucks. Maybe the wealthy will have their own personal vehicles. Probably not most people.

Of course you and I won’t see anything beyond the early stages of this transition.

Maybe when it’s illegal for humans to drive on public roads, and all the self-driving cars have a local mesh network to coordinate and negotiate actions, we can get rid of human road rules.

But yah, until then, no.

Isn’t it the whole point, that they’ll be better drivers than humans?
Or will they be so good they don’t need to follow the rules?

[he] acknowledged the backlash and labeled his critics ‘snowflakes’

I’m not offended or bothered by it.
It’s just super werid, and I don’t understand the message he’s trying to make. Like is he against capitalist consumer culture? Is he fighting Santa because Christmas is for Jesus? Or is Santa socialized gifting, and he’s for capitalism? Or does he just want to look like a superhero beating up someone, and didn’t think through who he was beating up?

They’re preemptive, CYA kinds of laws.
Like the law against whale hunting in Utah.

They do tend to be more expensive. But not extremely so. Maybe 20-40% more than a consumer equivalent.

Nothing special about they day really. It’s just happened to be the day when the Legrand Poumpaugh themselves decreed as such. Glory be their nostrals.

I’ve decided my next TV will be a Digital Sinage Display.

Why the limit of 3.5 tons?

I feel the same way, every time some rando stranger calls me friend

I’m sure that’s exactly what he meant when he wrote that post.
Me? I’m from NY. (Not the city)

As I said, I just found that post.
I’ve driven through Ohio before. No desire to live there.

It’s hard to he be wrong twice in one sentence
Congrats

Fantastic movie. It’s the best Avatar so far. I cried at least 3 times.

it’s a giftcard

I don’t know.
It seems too on the nose, even for The Onion.

Right!?
Does context matter?

I’m literally walking down an isle of a soon to be packed bus, with people infront of and behind me, so we can all get to our cars in a parking lot nearly a mile away. Is it the time for a chat, during the 2.3seconds we have while I’m passing?
Just totally suprised and not at all ready for that.
