    Cars and personal transportation will never go away as long as our society is stable. It’s better to have electric cars than fossil fuelled cars. Electric cars and good public transport can coexist.

        Today that same trip is slightly lower by car (cut off about fifteen minutes because of the Yangtze tunnel) but by metro it’s about 25 minutes. And you don’t have to hunt around for increasingly rare parking, then pay for that parking on top of it. And then repeat that when you get back home. More and more people aren’t bothering to drive at all, leaving their cars in long-term parking “just in case” and that case never comes.

        so you’re successfully navigating the transition, that’s great, to finally see the light at the other end.

        the vast majority aren’t anywhere NEAR this point, can’t even see the dot at the end; much less daylight - so if we’re going to have vehicles all over, wouldn’t it be grand if they didn’t spew pollution everywhere?

        or is it: I got mine, FUCK YOU?

        because you got yours, congrats, now the rest need to catch up, but having your smug ass looking down on people having functional transportation is kinda goofy.

      Cars will probably destroy US society before they go away, but either way there’s a clear end point. I’d say fight like hell to get rid of cars so it ends on the best possible terms, but you do you.
