The problem with self-driving cars
While some points are valid I am compelled to comment on this quote:<p>&quot;[Cars suck] They’re big, loud, smelly and basically the most inefficient form of transportation someone could imagine. They’re the most expensive thing a person owns after their home, but they don’t create value&quot;<p>This is some hyperbolic ideological statement which is very lazy and contradicts the most basic reality of modern life.<p>1) Cars are the most efficient (cost and environment wise), and safest compare to all other personal modes of transportations for daily use, in any weather, with capability to have a cargo [materials, goods, groceries, kids, etc] as well (compared to horses, bikes, etc) [I am now aware of a single example to the contrary].<p>2) They are naturally second most expensive as they have such a high value as having a roof over your head (which is a priority number one)<p>3) A car creates value for the owner despite depreciating in value itself. I do not get the argument here. Personally without a car I could not function (I do not live in a metropolis to rely on public transport)
