Comment on A crowd destroyed a driverless Waymo car in San Francisco

  Even in an ideally car-free society, you will literally never be able to get rid of taxis, deliveries, moving large furniture / household items, etc. without some form of enclosed motorized transportation (a car for the purposes of this discussion).

  That’s not individual transportation. None of it. But now that you mention it: Do imagine how your cities would look like if those were the only vehicles on the roads.

  If we make machines that are safer than humans than yeah, it will.

  Malaria might be less severe than the black death still doesn’t mean I want to catch it.

    Well the don’t shift goal posts to “individual transportation” when we’re talking about people thrashing a self driving car.

    They didn’t trash a gas guzzler.

      You can do automated taxis, deliveries and moving services, not so much.

        You can still automate the driving part of moving and delivery services, which is the dangerous part.
