[meme] Trains are 100000x easier to electrify and automate than cars, so why does everyone keep talking about electric and driverless cars?

  • It isn't harder in an old european style city. It is just not possible without reclaiming space from cars. But that is impossible to imagine for car brains.

  • Your hobby of 'driving' is making the world worse. You can find better hobbies!

  • "Now try moving between two cities where there isn't a train line because it isn't financially viable."

    Congratulations, you found the problem. A train line shouldn't have to be financially viable. Streets aren't eather. Let's vote for better rail infrastructure.

  • Are you a good driver? Consider the speed limit, leave enough space to the car in front of you, never look at your phone? I wouldn't want to drive next to 90% of drivers, but i sometimes have to.

    Why do you think people on a train are loud, smelly and inconsiderate? I made the opposite obelservation. I met the greatest number of inconsiderate people on the road. Can't say if they were smelly, but their cars sure were loud.

  • I am amazed as well. Did they just sub every community with the word 'car' in it?

  • Please explain to me: how is it possible to build a new highway through Berlin but so damn hard to build a railway through rural area?

  • You are 100% more likely to die in a car accident now. Compare the number of stabbing weirdos vs. bad drivers and rethink your choices.

  • I know it is not necessarily your opinion, but cars don't give freedom to people - even if you own one. You pay so much for your car, the society pays a lot for the infrastructure, this infrastructure takes away the freedom from people (especially children) to live and move outside, when you drive you can (should) do nothing else, it's reputation as individual way of transport blocks expansion of public transit, ... every aspect of a car is taking freedom away from you. A car that gives people freedom is a marketing strategy and the opposite is true.

  • Exactly my point for downvoting them. Make an argument, but better take your anger out of it and try to avoid making assumptions - you don't know if OP-commenter really thinks that this is a reasonable take or an exaggeration to make a point about car-brains getting away with stuff.
