  So in your world, planes, trains, and buses pick you up and drop you off at your doorstop? How cute.

    Nah. Unless you live literally at the station, which happens but is rare, doorsteps are the domain of collect taxis.

    Which btw are the most economical option in rural areas as you don’t have to drive empty buses around all the time. In cities they should be limited to people actually needing them, also open bicycle paths for microcars for people with mobility issues, not everyone wants or needs a powered wheelchair.

      This is what I mean, you’ll never get rid of enclosed motorized vehicles for a variety of reasons, and if we’re going to have them around, it would be better if they were self driving and killed fewer people than human drivers.

        These are not the kind of enclosed motorised vehicles you’re thinking of.
