People who drive manuals are the most insufferable annoying fucking people on the planet. The vegans of driving.
Manual transmissions keep dumbasses off the road. Bring back manuals.

You've met manual purists. Manuals are fundamentally better and create better drivers. You can't text and drive with a manual. A manual gives you better control of your car and eliminates on road distractions. Because of this most at fault accidents where someone isn't paying attention could be eliminated.

Most people can and do drive manuals. About 50% actually.

Valid, but we have more than 2X the death rate and less than 2X the automatic rate so there’s other factors at play

The source is right here. The drivers on US roads are idiots. Manuals are a skill check. Can't drive manual? Probably shouldn't be on the road. This is a life or death matter.

I’m not arguing manual cars make safer drivers, I agree with that. But, I’m saying I don’t think the solution is giving people more control of the vehicles. I think (10+ years from now) ai will be able to make self driving cars infinitely safer than a human operated manual

Why would we make cars self driving when we could just use public transit.

Well public transit is better, but we’re still going to need point to point transit in rural areas

A very slim percentage of the us’ land is dense enough to warrant public transport. A large portion of the population tho

Point to point transit in rural areas are called trains.

Who is going to fund a taxi service for a 40 minute drive to the nearest grocery store

What bus is going to meander up 10 mile long mountain roads to drop off a single passenger? How often will they have to run to ensure when someone needs to go to the store or to work or to visit family they can?

We can’t have trains connecting every small town, the environmental impact of that would be far too great

These suggestions you’ve made sound like they’re coming from someone who only lived in cities or suburbs outside cities. There are tens of millions of Americans who live 10+ miles from the nearest gas station/grocery store

Ong like there isn’t one catch all solution 😭 we’re going to need cars, we’re going to need trucks. We can reduce our reliance on them absolutely, and we should. But we can’t eliminate them from everywhere
