Cool, regardless of whether they’re commercial or or private, it would still be better if they killed fewer people than they do today.
I don’t think you’ve spent much time in the country, most people don’t own tractors. It’s not just farmers as far as the eye can see, they still require a huge community / support system of electricians, mechanics, plumbers, shops and suppliers, entertainment, etc.
Then build streets that take pedestrians and cyclists into account and make sure that people don’t have to commute by car. That’s the coffee-drinking mobile-swiping distracted drivers thinking their Tesla can drive for them.
…in a village, which means bus stop in walking distance, not in single home with a five kilometre driveway. Also electricians, mechanics, plumbers, shops and suppliers all have commercial vehicles, entertainment the fuck do you mean? If there’s a cinema in the village chances are the operators live in the same building, if it’s a circus troupe they have wagons because itinerant.
Cool beans bro, you can do that, you’ll still have cars for the reasons I listed above. There is literally no city in existence where an elderly person can get to their doctor’s appointment in the middle of snow and rain without a car.
Lmao. No it doesn’t. You’re not going to have a machine shop or feed supply shop in a village, it’s the size of a lumber yard and not zoned to be in a residential area.
Again, what’s your point about commercial vs private. Do you think self driving technology cares? Also that Waymo taxi they trashed is a commercial taxi.
Restaurants, theatres, rinks, stadiums, etc. You know, stuff people do for entertainment.
Also, lmfao at this specifically:
It’s not 1920 with a projectionist living in an apartment beside the projection room.
Your health insurance doesn’t pay for a taxi or transport ambulance if you’re immobile? What kind of 3rd world shithole do you live in (don’t say I know the answer: America).
That’s not a village that’s a farm.
What’s the point of self driving when the car doesn’t need to move without someone in it?
On your farm with ten kilometre driveway?
Then what went wrong?
A taxi, you mean like a car? You mean like the Waymo taxi that was trashed?
We’re discussing how there are people in the country who don’t own tractors.
Because self driving cars have the potential to be safer and less dangerous than human drivers. Waymo’s safety record is already better than the average human on a per mile basis.
The people who work those jobs, also live out in the country.
Yes. I never said that those things have no place.
Then either they should have a bus station in walking distance or be covered by a collect taxi service.
The average human is not a good driver. You have to compare performance, and not just safety but also route efficiency, flexibility to unforseen events etc. not against the average driver, but professional taxi drivers.
Why the fuck don’t they live at the farm. What’s it with USians trying to make everything as hard for themselves as possible.
Then why trash an autonomous taxi?
Lol. You do not understand the distances involved.
Until we live in your made up fantasy world where the only drivers allowed on the road are professionals, then sure. But we’re not, we’re discussing real world performance today.
Because they’re not farmers, try and keep up with the conversation.
I’m not American, and it took literally thousands of years of development to turn Europe into what it is today, so maybe try and have some perspective on the feasibility of your “solutions”.
You mean why did homeless people trash an autonomous taxi? I’d say because inner-city liberal techbros care more about fancy tech toys than providing stuff that people actually need, such as shelter and healthcare. At least that’s the usual logic of riots and vandalism.
So if you work at a farm, but are not a farmer, you can’t live there? You are legally required to have a 20km commute based on a law to preserve the integrity of farm life or something? What kind of bullshit is that.
Uh, you can watch the video, it wasn’t homeless people.
Again we’re not talking about people who work on farms. We’re talking about people who work in farming communities in jobs that are necessary to support farmers. Most of them don’t even work on a single farm but service multiple farms. Stop trying to act like you understand country life well enough to reshape it, you’re just as arrogant as every European colonizer before you.
