Pittsburgh Fentanyl Cloud posted:And this is a good thing. It isn't going to lower prices by increasing housing units on the market though, since the housing market has been disconnected from supply and demand for a long time. If I have no choice about paying 105% of my income in rent, I'd rather do so within walking distance of a supermarket and a bus stop. I just don't see the value in making everything as bad as possible to spite some people who won't even feel it.

Certainly in the free market utopia that is the us self driving cars will not achieve any of those things and will in fact make all these problems worse rather than better

Wasn’t the solution to ‘where does the car go while I’m at work’ that you could put it to work patrolling the neighborhood for rideshare passengers and make some sweet cash on the side I remember hearing that a few times at least, but never any response to “okay but what happens when an entire office park worth of cars are patrolling the same sleepy suburban commuter campus all day? Let’s not even think about a downtown area

That is the thing, Portland went all in on 2000s-2010s new urbanism but it really didn’t make a difference because while some of the structure of the cityscape was revamped, there was no real attempt to actually make it for people who worked in it. Obviously, the pandemic was a fluke, but there was clear dysfunction before it.

mystes posted:I mean theoretically maybe self-driving cars could do that if the government assigned everyone staggered times to go to and leave work, times to go shopping, and places to work and live but if you think the government should be able to do that you can also just build apartment blocks and transit and then you don't need the self-driving cars better yet you could have a bunch of cars in a series that go from one place to another and stop along the route. they would be on a set schedule and like you show up to one of several locations on along the road or "route" and wait a few minutes then hop in and go where you need to go.

It doesn't help that you would probably need to use gps or something and people would freak out about that even if it just used a database of road speeds and didn't actually upload your location or whatever Of course it might be simpler to implement if you just limited all non-highway roads to 20mph or something but that wouldn't work based on us road design

Of course, if EVs only replace shorter trips where people shouldn't be using cars in the first place, that isn't really ideal either.

Weka posted:What do you fellows think about these new driverless taxis roaming the streets? there was an article a week or so ago saying that there have been over 12 incidents where these things have interrupted fire trucks or emergency services in SF this past year, most recently there was a report of one that mistook a fire hose for a speed bump and tried to run it over, which could have potentially caused the fire hose to rupture while firefighters were actively fighting a fire. the cops have resorted to just breaking their windows whenever these things try to do something odd because the only official way to stop them is to call the dispatcher with the license plate number and then the dispatcher can call waymo, who can have a remote driver take over.
