@umbrella “good public transit does exactly this, except more efficiently.” Not really, if it is al on one electric grid. Think of it as one giant train with the cars broken up and separated.
then we would have to maintain an infinity of discrete cars, asphalt and there’s all sorts of safety implications. isn’t it cheaper to make actual trains?
now, i agree current car-centric infrastructure will make this difficult in the short and medium term, but cars exist for that and would be not problem to use in the meantime if the solution is just making them electric or self driving.
