So self driving car brands are currently in the process of offering subscription based self driving features.

Soon these subscriptions will be cheap enough for everybody to abandon public transport and get into their self driving cars instead.

This means that everybody will be in their cars and it will create the biggest traffic jam in human history!

And finally, self-driving cars will be totally safe and able to drive completely unsupervised! While standing still in traffic going an average of 5 km/h…

It will be beautiful (/s)

    Not Just Bikes did a video about this exact topic, and how it would turn our cities into dystopian hellscapes. Because we’d have to ban everything except the intetconnected cars from the streets.

      Wait, hear me out.

      We make only a few streets for self driving cars only. We could even actively prevent other traffic by fitting the cars with special wheels that fit on special tracks. And to optimize space, we connect the cars together.

        We could put those roads underground in tunnels so there’ll be no interference from other traffic. And then they could go on rails too and maybe make the car bigger so they can fit more people.
