"if the only way we can achieve safe self-driving cars is to completely segregate them from human drivers and pedestrians, we already had such technology: trains." ๐ https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-08-16/to-get-ready-for-robot-driving-some-want-to-reprogram-pedestrians-
Unfortunately Iโm not a fan of crowds and riding the train is quite stressful (assuming I get a seat). And how do I get from my house to the train station in a timely manner?

I think what the American market really needs is a car that will autonomously drive policy makers at various levels of government to meetings where they are forced to discuss making mass transit systems less hellish & decrepit -
My only counterpoint would be that we should kick the overly subsidized drivers off the roads they pay way way way way way way too little for.
-
Except I canโt take my train from the station onto the road and drive it to my house.
Mostly because of the restraining order. -
Yes, but in trains, you actually have to come face to face with other humans. THen the fear of the other might subside
-
Americans don't know how good trains can be since our Government has refused to invest in them and let existing infrastructure languish and deteriorate.
-
Not really trains, but a type of PRT, since trips are point2point and in smaller vehicles. Some extra flexibility in where they stop and load though.
