Nope. Because of economy of scale we can have different type of these “autonomous linked-car pods.” Some get you really close to your stop, but others will take you between cities faster than cars can take you. And since they’re autonomous you can sleep on the pods or get work done.
generally yeah. i would much rather be able to get around to everywhere not using a car but still having the option because it’s often useful (trips, moving, groceries etc) which is mostly what i do already but i wish it was a little less of a pain to get places on foot/bike. i also think roadways need stricter rules for bikes when there aren’t bike lanes because having a bunch of different vehicles and pedestrians gets dangerous when not everyone is following the normal flow of traffic
