people in the bay area desperately want the self driving car myth to come true because they know they have 35 working years left and their 2.5 hour each way commute from tracy to their $65k/yr account representative job is slowly grinding away their sanity with no prospects for improvement in quality of life aside from prayer to deus ex machina at the temple of pallas musk

infrastructure in the bay is not going to get any better until the old folks who occupy the million-dollar starter homes die off and their inheriting children start to demand more than the best the 1960s has to offer

change is certainly not gonna come from renters who can't afford to stay in the same community long enough to attend the city council planning meetings 5 years before the fact. it's all nimby all the time, or "residentialism" hope you like that buzzword because you'll be hearing lots of it in this "gently caress you got mine" culture we have here

We are no closer to mass deployments than we were in 2012 when the technofetishists were saying we were five years from commercial availability. That's how long I've been following this stupid poo poo.

The self-driving car mania is a perfect example of the way people will happily stick their head in the dirt and believe what they want despite there being ample evidence for skepticism.

The millennials that inherit those homes will be exactly as 'gently caress you, got mine' as their parents/grandparents.

From the local subreddit's comments on a fatal car accident, note the scores:


These people really are convinced that this poo poo exists and works and that it's just the government or whatever keeping it from wide use. Incredibly delusional.

One thing I've found from using it for a few years is that the people in geographic or specific hobby subs are often depressingly old.
