You’re forgetting a fundamental one:

  • Sidewalks

Technology is not mature yet, we'll need another 10 years til we could make those work.

Breaking news! Automatic sidewalks from company OvaDere is coming to YOUR town! Imagine using a one long elevator to get to work and you are thinking AutomWalk! Using revolutionary technology SafeStop, this Smart AI driven sidewalk replacer AutomWalk stops as soon as it detects a passerby to ensure health and safety, allowing to traverse any distances comfortably, no matter where you are going!

Just let Elon Musk handle it, it will be ready in two year tops. Perpetually two years away.

He'll get two miles of underground sidewalks put in during four of those two years.

And 6 years after starting his two year project it'll go bankrupt because no one is paying to use his underground sidewalk service.

Looking around the infrastructure of Texas, it's gonna be a whole lot longer than 10 years if they decide to make anything sidewalk safe.

Better get used to walking on grass if you choose to walk somewhere here.

Whats wrong with walking on the grass? It always blows my mind people choose to walk in the road, as close to vehicles as possible, rather than choose the clearly safer option and walk on the grass.

I'm genuinely curious why so many people are afraid of the grass, fuck, ill walk in the weeds/trees before I walk on the side of a road.

I want state owned electric self driving g taxis. I want to walk out of my door and get in the neighborhood self driving bus to take me (up to) 2 miles from work, where I can either walk or use a lil razer scooter to get to my job.

Alas, I work 62 miles away from home.

What about little electric scooters that you can rent with an app but we just dump them all over the fucking sidewalk when no one is using them.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

I like the idea, but I have no clue how to regulate them properly. Right now it's chaos all over the world.

Have to be heavy duty e-bikes. most americans are probably too heavy for normal ones that have a weight limit of like 200lbs.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

A pointlessly, stereotyping answer. The type of people willing to invest hundreds of dollars into a [e]bike are usually fit enough to ride them without undue difficulty.

I live close to my workplace and have been a skater most of my life, bought an electric one and I take it to work whenever the weather is nice.

It's a great cash save and the board itself is awesome fun and very fucking quick.
