i agREE: elon shouldnt be getting all that money !!! private transport sucks !!! we need to socialise all transport and have really cool trains and trams and bikes and for our needs and then plant trees and make rivers on all the useless roads.

do you mean those little tiny cars that are just two seats and two doors and not much else, like the smart fortwo and whatnot?
i wanted to get one of those for a long time but i'm kinda glad i didn't

nah I don't really know what to think of those. I was talking about self-driving cars--imo they only limit freedom of movement while filling the same niche as public transport but with greater pollution and energy use.

Ah yeah. Private automobiles make no sense just from a physics perspective... At least cars anyway.
Just to move a human, who weigh a few hundred pounds at most, we have to drag around a ton and a half of metal? Weems like a waste. We should be moving away from that model for that amd a bunch of other reasons that im sure most people are aware of here

every car needs to just be single-occupant but then with modular bits you can add on to hold more people. someone pay me for my good ideas.
