Bike paths don’t work in climates unsuitable for biking for large parts of the year. And a train will never achieve the granularity of a vehicle. There are too many use cases where a vehicle needs to access an individual address for the solution to be “just do trains.” In terms of environment, AVs would be drastically more efficient since they could be shared. Again comparing it to rail is silly since a train will never deliver your sofa to your doorstep or wait for you to take your Costco haul of groceries inside.

Sure, if a train could take you everywhere that a car can then it would be amazing. I don’t think AVs are trying to solve the same problem as trains though.

In all likelihood it just requires changing the infrastructure to support AV. Right now it’s like we’re trying to make a general purpose AI that can act like a human rather than change the roads to be AV compatible.

I just think it’s dumb that we’re deleting the concept of women to account for the case of a “man giving birth”

No, the purpose is to make it PC. He said people like to bitch, author changed it to people like to complain. It’s not a clarity thing, the meaning was obvious

Idk why it bothers me so much that the author felt it necessary to change the quote to “[complain]” like what gives you the right to change someone’s words because they make you uncomfortable?
