Reply to comment by 666vampiric in Driverless cars and electric cars being displayed as the pinnacle of future transportation engineering is just… wrong. Car-based infrastructure is inefficient, bad for the environment and we already have better technologies in other fields that could help more. An in depth analysis by mocha_sweetheart

I also believe that autonomous vehicles will enable hub to hub mass transit by providing an ideal solution for last mile transport even for people who live far from a center hub. The main issue in the USA is that most of us don't live within walking distance to a central huh and taking an uber that far is even too expensive and unreliable.

Autonomous vehicles can really be a massive improvement over driven vehicles. The other issue is that trains are simply way too expensive and too slow in the United States.
