Comment on [PDF] Tesla is slow in reporting crashes and the feds have launched an investigation to find out why
123@programming.dev 3 days agoWe just need tucking trains and public transport in cities. Rural areas are under separate requirements. It’s that easy, but we’ve built cities for failure for a while now. We “send our prayers” each time a kid biking to school is run over and then complain when the number of lanes on the freeway is not expanded to accommodate the ever increasing number of cars or speed limits don’t allow for deadlier crashes because our commute from a poorly designed suburb to a poorly designed city increases by 5 minutes.

I don’t disagree but I don’t think it’s remotely realistic at this point. Honestly, everything looks the bleakest it ever has in my lifetime and I don’t really trust our society to accomplish any significant progress anytime soon. Trump is America’s response to the entire earth ecosystem collapsing? In the meantime, I think it’s remotely possible we can get cars to talk to each other so I can go to a bar without having to involve Uber. Maybe with dedicated towers like cell phone towers to help cover areas and the software can keep the amount of data that needs to be transferred to a minimum.
But yeah, public transit a step or 2 above buses would have been pretty ideal but our population is stupid as fuck and just accepts capitalism as the way things should be.
