Guard Dog Posted August 2, 2017 Posted August 2, 2017 I like the assumption that environmentalists are better at lobbying politicians than big oil and the auto industries. Good times. I would be more sympathetic to the death of cars if I didn't sit in traffic for an hour or two every day. LA that bad? Freedom is here Yet another example of why I won't cast my vote for either. There really is no differences that matter between them. 1 "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell

PK htiw klaw eriF Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 It'd take a lot of infrasturcture tweaking but most major cities+surrounding areas could probably switch to some form of rail and be a lot more efficent. At the least it would hopefully get rid of the nightmare that is trying to find parking.

injurai Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 All-electric self-driving cars could be the revolution that spurs America into a new age. Given our sheer amount of road infrastructure. Feels like it could have arrived yesterday though...
Hurlshort Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 I don't see rail happening. Too mich public cost. Tech companies are already investing heavily in self driving cars.
injurai Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 Hyperloop might happen though. One down the east coast, one along Chicago-Columbus-Pitt, one from LA to Houston.

injurai Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 Unless these electric self driving cars work on dirt roads and have 4WD I'm out of luck. They are really there to make the bulk of boring city/interstate driving safer and more efficient. Plus give you some of your life back. If if they had autonomous off-road vehicles I'd still go it manual because that's when driving actually gets fun.

Elerond Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 Unless these electric self driving cars work on dirt roads and have 4WD I'm out of luck. You can install needed cameras and environmental sensors in 4WD car, but dirt roads are quite tricky for driving AI's to interpret with absolute accuracy, which is why self driving cars at least still have manual driving mode for such and other situations that their computer can't handle.
Wrath of Dagon Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 I don't live in LA, it is much worse down there. Isn't Houston atrocious as well?My drive isn't bad, and they're building a ton of roads, now that most new roads are toll.

Volourn Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 Pay taxes for roads, pay tolls, pay taxes on those tolls (probably not right ? I hope), pay moneis b/c you went 1 mile over an artificial speed limit, have money stolen because you chose not to wear a seatbelt (your body your choice right so why do gov'ts intervere?), etc. The gov't are Nazis and are all about stealing money. It wouldn't be so bad if they wouldn't waste so much of it though. It be one thing to pay 50% taxes if that money was logically spent and spent well but probably half of that 50% is spent in a way that works.

Guard Dog Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 It is annoying to have to pay the state for the privilege of driving the car you own on the roads you helped pay for. I have to pony up $25 every time my driver's license expires. I remember in Florida when the Florida Turnpike was built it was paid for by bonds that were re-paid by tolls collected. The story then was the tolls would only apply until the construction was paid for. That was in the 1950's. The road was paid for in the '70's. It's 40 years later and the whole thing is still a toll road and the tolls go up every few years.

Maedhros Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 @Volourn I'm happy with strict seat belt laws. It's literally saving lives. Not wearing seatbelt is the douchiest thing ever, because you're a human projectile waiting to happen if there's a crash.

injurai Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 Seat belt laws exist because you are required to be insured to drive. Insurance works because you are expected to behave in statistically proven manners that minimizes unnecessary risk on your co-insurants.

Gfted1 Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 On the tpoic of human missiles, I read a story where some dude stepped in front of a train to commit suicide, and the resultant explosion of his body sent meat gibs flying in every direction. A chunk hit some innocent bystander, injuring them, and they have sued the estate of the deceased for damages. Nazi's or no? "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa"
