    I saw a human driver get into a traffic accident because he was mad that the guy ahead of him gave someone space to turn out of a parking lot, they ended up arguing and their cars just sat there further blocking traffic for half an hour until the cops came.

    Why are you acting like robot drivers are the only fallible ones?

            So in your world, planes, trains, and buses pick you up and drop you off at your doorstop? How cute.

              Nah. Unless you live literally at the station, which happens but is rare, doorsteps are the domain of collect taxis.

              Which btw are the most economical option in rural areas as you don’t have to drive empty buses around all the time. In cities they should be limited to people actually needing them, also open bicycle paths for microcars for people with mobility issues, not everyone wants or needs a powered wheelchair.

                This is what I mean, you’ll never get rid of enclosed motorized vehicles for a variety of reasons, and if we’re going to have them around, it would be better if they were self driving and killed fewer people than human drivers.
