I think we’re writing off the Jetsons sound idea too quickly here. It doesn’t have to be cacophonously loud; a subtle burble, like a small stream, but more future-y, would be great. Something engineered not to build to a roar in contained or dense environments would be a good feature, too.

You do know legislators interested in reducing black turnout are ON THE RECORD as having which polling places and registration locations to close based on the race of those who use them? The argument may chafe, but the fact remains that it’s true. To deny it and chalk it up to a lack personal responsibility is worse…

You don’t think a computer would be better at routing traction to the correct wheel and compensating with steering than a human? Their reaction time is certainly likely to be better. Also: windshield wipers.

Even if humans are banned from driving on public roads, there’s no reason to ban humans from driving offroad, or on private roads and tracks. People still ride horses, too, just not on the roads so much anymore.

A March ‘74 Oui, perchance?

I am for this showdown on these conditons:

Same here; I left christianity behind, but there was a time in the early 90s when I owned a christian bookstore “Fear Not” ripoff of a “No Fear” t-shirt.

It is fundamentally impossible to have to have self-sustaining transportation of any sort. An unwilling party will always have to pick up the slack: taxpayers underwriting the cost, landowers who lose rights, companies that fail to profit. The reason we pay for transit infrastructure is because it makes everything…
