um doesn’t this already exist in Europe and Japan?
Things exist only theoretically if they’re outside the only real country, the US.
No. Not really.
Cars are very common and walkable cities have been largely accommodated for the car.
Live in Stockholm, don’t have a car, can get around fine. Still want a car, but not for the city.
I went a year without driving in America ; its aweful
Yeah, I don’t know how anyone survives there without one.
that makes sense bc I did die
RIP in peace 🪦
I came back
55% of trips in Sweden are cars. I’d call that the default.
Sweden is a huge country, I drove 6 hours down to Malmö recently, and lots of people live on the outskirts where train and bus services are slower and more spotty. But if you live in the cities here, you don’t need a car.
While I agree in principle with the OP, I feel I must point out that that wouldn’t completely make cars unnecessary. There are still remote or sparsely populated areas (a lot actually in my country) where comprehensive public transport is impractical or next to impossible. I’d say we have use for both. Especially so if self driving means being able to summon a car when you need one without needing to own one. Or would that actually count as public transport then…?
Yeah, well said. I agree with you on that, sometimes cars are still needed
This post isn’t shit. Where is my refund?
Sorry, best we can do in the U.S. is fuck all.
So, London basically?
Don’t say “cars as default”, say “built around people, not cars”
Saw this yesterday, instead of Atlanta building a new airport that could take away Delta’s dominance, the CEO suggests vertibirds for shuttling people to the airport. This totally ignores the fact that the public transit MARTA goes directly to the airport

That’s a Velaro

I think self driving cars will help tbh. Only way it will happen.
Less parking. Solves last mile problem.
Ah yes, another US-centric post.
I’ll do you one better: I DON’T MIND CHECKING A GOD DAMN SCHEDULE. HELL, LET’S GET WILD AND MAKE THAT MFER PAPER I LITERALLY DGAF. Cuz I got that dawg in me!
Ok, it’s great to dream. In your dream are cars just completely gone? If so that’s a pretty extreme stretch of a dream. If you are going to have any cars why wouldn’t you want them to be self driving?
