    Iirc, most of the driverless tech is being dumped into EVs. Manufacturing pollution aside, converting more OTR vehicles to EV and diverging from ICE vehicles is the current path forward until newer technology provides other options in terms of tackling pollution. Additionally, once the driverless tech develops, hopefully traffic congestion will alleviate by removing the human element.

        Nah, fuck trains.

        You need trams.

        Cross country, high speed bullet trams from coast to coast.

      That’s the capitalist, market-friendly answer. The planet friendly answer is public transit. It’s been proven over and over again. Instead we’re trying to figure out how to charge electric cars faster for longer trips. It’s all with the express purpose of greenwashing the issue while maintaining a capitalist friendly personal vehicle infrastructure. It’s insanity.
