Reply to comment by thecoffeejesus in People lack imagination and it’s really bothering me by thecoffeejesus

Lol, to some people here (check replies to my comment) having 24x7 self driving cars without drivers in San Francisco, Los Angeles and Phoenix in 2023 is nothing.

People are not understanding what it's happening. Literally robots replacing our driving skills NOW, not in the future, NOW, and people are like "yeah but it can't run in a Norwegian mountain yet". Lol.

I feel you. The older people I work with keep saying things like these electric cars are never going to work. They might have a long list of draw backs my old friends but Norway goes 100% electric for new cars in 2025. It's not coming. It's here now.

Just because you can move the goal post doesn’t necessarily guarantee an actual goal.

Woah, lobbies against new tech endangering jobs. What a surprise.

Do you usually trust politicians this much? Without any data to back it up?

let them kill themsleves.

back in 19th century, places that rejected railway due to XYZ reasons ended up decaying while the ones got hooked on rails became booming towns, lasting to today. e.g. railway in Taiwan, in Siberia etc. the cities actively rejected rails passing thru them soon after declined and its place got replaced

if SF want to be the next, so be it.
