Wow, she invented a trolley. I’m impressed. Just like Amazon invented the Sears Catalogue. These folks are genius. Almost as much as are their customers.
I think I will stick to my “personal freedom device”….otherwise known as a car…please stop forcing this tech on the world…..control, control, control…not good…..
Perhaps people in the crowded big cities who ride the subway or bus can get along without cars, but those of us in fly over America do need cars and they enjoy driving . We hope this nonsense takes at least 20 or 30 years and our kids and grand kids can deal with it.
You are right, this isn’t convenient for rural areas. Don’t worry, they are 20 years away from being fully autonomous and won’t ever work as advertised, especially in cities. Right not they are worse than normal cars because you have to take control of the wheel in the blink of an eye and after 2 minutes people aren’t concentrating on the road. It would be nice if IJ could do some articles about these that aren’t fantastical puff pieces and point out that companies like Tesla had projected large market share in this to almost be achieved already, and instead still haven’t reached their basic goals related to the software making it work. The only way these work anytime soon is with huge government spending to change the infrastructure and in places that they would be most useful that money would be better spent on public transit.
Ironically the places it would actually work are rural places where there’s less need for it. Trucking can work, but only on the highways. It’s vaporware.
Yeah, get out of a concert or other crowded event and wait an hour to pay outrageous up charges. Love it!
Ride sharing has a place, but if you think it’s going to replace the personal automobile…well…best of luck to you.

Patterson and Sampson are naïve.
