The whole “you don’t need a car” discussion again? It is boring, nobody having it ever acknowledges that anyone else has valid arguments, and some of the arguments brought up on both side are ridiculous. Some people can do fine without a car most of the time, and have options available when they don’t. Some people need a car on a daily basis. Arguing that “sure you can do the schoolrun for your 3 kids on a cargo bike” is stupid (someone mentions further down below) as is the argument “but what if I need to carry 20 tonnes granite daily?!?” (slight exaggeration)

I keep hearing about some grand conspiracy about stopping fully autonomous vehicles, but it is not at all clear who would be behind this, and why. I do see a lot of reports about these things getting stuck, and responders being forever away, causing chaos.
