Comment on A crowd destroyed a driverless Waymo car in San Francisco
barsoap@lemm.ee 11 months agoSelf driving cars we’re talking like a decade, the kind of societal changes you’re describing take a generation.
The kind of changes I’m talking about are happening, even in the US, right now. It’s you who’s lobbying against them by saying “can’t be done”, “not fast enough” completely ignoring what’s happening in actual cities all over the place. How about “hey why are the Mormons of all people more progressive than our city”, instead?
Also for an purported supporter of public transport you ripped into /r/fuckcars quite a lot. WTH are you even doing over on the snoo site.
You literally have to wait for every suburban stick in the mud to be willing to move out of their home or die before you can achieve your car-free dream.
No. Railcar suburbs once existed and existing car-dependent single-home suburbs can be turned into them by, as I already explained, densifying around the stations. Which has been done, and is being done, and would come soon also to your city if you bothered to argue for it.
As to me personally: I never owned a car. Never needed one.

Lmfao, you’re such a dumb arrogant prick.
Learn how to read dumbass.
barsoap@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Yeah that’s not how you actually argue. What am I supposed to read in that context? You’re deflecting.
You said this:
No, it’s not a dream. No, I’m not living in the city centre, either. You’re, again, deflecting in a desperate attempt to deny reality, denying the change that’s happening even in places that are culturally extremely car-centric.
Touch grass.

It means reread what you wrote and then reflect on what it might have already been contradicted dumbass. Maybe reflect on what I’ve said about my political views instead of injecting the tech bro stereotype youve made up.
Congratulations bro. There are still cars all around you and you would still be safer if they were autonomous.

Nah I don’t think you’re a petrol head, I think you’re a techbro. I’ve accused you of it amply, and you have never even tried to give off any other impression.
Statistically speaking I’m vastly more likely to fall off a ladder changing a lightbulb than getting hit by a car. But I’m sure you have a technology for that, too… don’t you? Because you want to focus on the issues that actually affect people?
